Join me for our new challenge over at Christmas with the Cuties! Our theme for this challenge is "Frosty the Snowman was a jolly ..." - operative word being "Snowman" so we want you to include a snowman somewhere on your card and don't forget, your creation must be Christmas themed and feature a cute image.
We have moved to a JUST FOR FUN challenge and I hope you will continue to play along so you have a chance to proudly display our Winners Badge or Top 3 Badge.
This image is Snowman Sunbathing by Kinda Cute. It's such a cute image and I've had it for a while but have always been stumped on how I was going to use it. I thought about layers of tropical Christmas paper but it just wasn't working for me so I decided to go simple and I love it!
I started by creating a beach background with Distress Oxide Inks using the following:
- Sand: Antique Linen, Rusty Hinge and Frayed Burlap
- Water: Cracked Pistachio and Salty Ocean
- Sky: Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Abandoned Coral
I stamped the sentiment using the Merry Christmas set by Say it with Stamps then I fussy cut the snowman and applied some foam strips to the back. I thought the sky was missing something so I added some clouds using die-cuts by Paper Roses.
