My Project today was made using the new Merry Snow Couple, Tree Group and the Flakey People sentiment.

I love making snowy snowman scenes and the snow couple and tree grouping were perfect to feature together.  I stamped the trees on the blue card base to create the background for the scene.  Using a tiny brush I added falling snow flakes to the scene with undiluted white watercolor paint. I hand cut a strip of ground snow, attached it to the back of the frame and then attached the frame to the card base with thin strips of mounting tape.

I stamped the couple, colored their hats and cut them out.  I applied glossy accents to their hats and applied white flower soft to create the little pompoms.  I couldn’t resist adding holly to their necks for a holiday embellishment. I tucked the couple in behind the snow layer and attached with mounting tape.

I thought the long sentiment would look really cute stamped on a layer of snow in front of the couple.  I love snowmen and this merry couple makes me smile.

  2. J’ai bien besoin de neige en ce moment même. J’ai trop chaud et je n’ai pas accès à ma douche. Snif !
    Elle est très belle, cette carte qui parle de froid et de fête. L’autre aussi est jolie et fait oublier la trop grande chaleur qui sévit.
    Très belle soirée !

  6. Ms. Kittie,
    What kind of scissors do you use to make the rough cut look for the snow layers? Thank you for your time. I adore all of the cards you make. They give me so much inspiration!

  7. Good morning Monarie, I use deckle scissors to cut the snow layers to make them look a little more natural. I’ve had mine for years but I think Fiskars still makes them. I hope this helps. Thank you for your lovely compliment.
