A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Snowman in a Snowstorm


The Double D challenge is Let It Snow, and it's definitely snowing on this card.  The snowman looks like he's raising his arms and saying "it's still snowing and has been snowing forever".

I stamped the snowman and coloured him and the ground beneath him with Tombow Markers. I used the Falling Snow stencil and Snowflake paste to add the snowstorm around him. And put a bit of glitter on the ground.

No snow here in Vancouver where I live.  A decent dry day today after a horrid damp drizzly one yesterday.  Those of you with sunshine and sparkly snow, get outside and enjoy it for me!





Supplies:
Stamps - Old Island Stamp Co. snowman, Northwoods sentiment
Ink - Archival Jet Black
Paper - white and blue cs
Size - 4.75" square
Accessories - SSS Falling Snow stencil, Finnabair Snowflake paste, Tombow markers, glitter

    Excellent job making snow, Susan! I think your adorable snowman is "winter cheering" because the snow falling means he will live longer!! Happy New Year hugs, Darnell

    This couldn't be more perfect! I adore the simplicity. Our weather is similar to yours -- wet! It's good to see you in our challenge at Double D, Susan!
