Fun Snowflakes

Hello friends.  Are you ready for the weekend?

The hurricane is gone.  Thankfully we didn't have any damage in our area.
The folks on the coast weren't so lucky and neither were the people in the Bahamas.
My heart goes out to them.

I needed a lift.  And the Christmas Kickstart Challenge was just what I needed!

Get a Head-er Start

For this challenge we'd like you to take your inspiration from the blog header!

This stamp belongs to a friend and I happened to have one more stamped in the 

Christmas box.  I colored these crazy guys with Copic markers.

There's some Nuvo Crystal drops here and there and a gold tooth.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Christmas Caroling with Merry Monday

I have some fun snowmen for you today.

Do you see the guy on the end, singing his heart out?

Then there's #2 that looks like he's getting ready to stop the fun.

LOL, it reminds me of my family when we're singing Christmas carols 

of even Happy Birthday!

To make this card, I stamped the image and colored with a combination

of Stampin' Up! Blendabilities and Copics.

I made a mask of the image from Frisket masking film

so I could stamp the trees "behind the snowmen".

Leaving the mask in place, I sponged the night sky around the snowmen.

Then I stamped the dots from Gorgeous Grunge all over the design 

with Whisper White and embossed with Chunky EP, heating from the back

so the powder wouldn't blow away.
