I was so inspired by all the Xmas cards for last weeks Cute Card Thursday..that I made this Xmas card for this weeks challenge.......which is to use brads, buttons and ribbon.
This Cute Snowlady is from High Hopes and is called "Snow Sweet Snowlady". I just love the little bird sitting so relaxed and happy on her shoulder.
I was happy to use my basic grey figgy pudding paper here. Because it was so popular last year ...it was always on back order...so I received it rather late in the season....and hardly got to use it. I have to wonder what paper it will be this year that I will be drooling over.
For the layout of this card I used the SC180 sketch...what a great sketch to work with!!
The Snowlady and sentiment is set on foam dimensionals.
I used diamond glaze on the birds beak and the candy cane. Glitter for the base and stickles for everything else that sparkles.
The ribbon was something I never thought I would use...goes to show ..never say never..lol.
Image was colored with prismacolor pencils (OMS) and h20's. Details are white acrylic paint.
Stamps - High Hopes "Snow Sweet Snow Lady", SU Warmest Regards
Paper - whisper white, always artichoke, michaels, basic grey
Ink - versafine black, bordering blue, creamy caramel
Accessories - ribbon, brads, buttons, stickles, glitter, diamond glaze, stitching, swiss dot cb folder, nesties, cord.
We have gotten a lot of rain this past few days. Everything is so beautifully green and fresh smelling. We've been very lucky no really severe storms although we have had warnings.
I received an this award from Alex at Funkelzauber's Stamping World this week. Thank you so much Alex. Check out her blog .....it is Fabulous!!
Have a Great Day Everyone!! Thanks for looking!!!
