Snowman blueprint

Who said a snowman could not be pink?! LOL
I love that this card is so very different from the vintage card I created over a year ago using this same stamp.


I stamped the snowman in Worn lipstick DOI onto a panel of hammered cardstock. Because the ink appeared very wet on this cardstock, I was afraid it might not dry properly, so I added clear embossing powder and heat embossed it. Love the sheen this gives. I rounded the corners of my white panel using a 1/4" corner chomper and foam-mounted it to my cardbase to which I had adhered some patterned paper. BTW, I did die cut the center out of my PP panel, hoping to create yet another pink Christmas card before today (Wednesday) 6pm EDT. I added a bit of blue to the scarf and holly on the snowmans hat to bring in the colour from the blue berries of my patterned paper. Wish all my cards were this quick to make...

By now, you will probably have gathered that this is yet another card for the Jingle Belles challenge. If not, please do check out my previous posts. This is pink card number 12, which means I have matched the number of pink Christmas cards that I linked up last year. I'm hoping I can finish at least one more, since I intended to top last year's score.


I'm also linking up my card at:
