A Twofer Featuring Winter Clothes

A Christmas card Twofer today.  First up for Christmas Kickstart "Wrapped up for Christmas" (have a scarf on the card).

My background is a not very well done attempt at embossing folder stamping (mixed media cs, a snowflake embossing folder, and Distress Broken China ink). I trimmed it with a wonky stitched rectangle.

I chose this snowman stamp because he has such a wonderful large scarf.  When I stamped him, I got a big smudge of ink off to the left of him so I trimmed it down with an oval die, going right up close to the fringe of the scarf to avoid the smudge. Then I coloured his hat band and scarf with a red marker, and added some shading to him and to the ground with a blue coloured pencil that was close to the colour blue of the background. I added a small sentiment in the little space left and popped the oval up on fun foam on the background.

For the Sparkles Christmas Challenge "Warm Winter Clothes", I went with some warmly dressed sheep.

I stamped and coloured the sheep with coloured pencils, framed them with a rectangle with a die cut semi-circle opening and finished with the addition of a thin blue frame die and several glittery snowflakes.
