Hi Crafters,
It's been a busy week here in Rainey's Craft Room, lots of orders coming in, cards going out, DT work and a couple of GDT spots that I was kindly asked to do in August so I am trying to get ahead for those. The housework has taken a back seat I'm afraid so I will have to knuckle down tomorrow and catch up with that too.
On to today...
It's our fortnightly Christmas Card Club and Christine has chosen the theme of 'Let It Snow'. Now I have long admired the lovely little Penny Black stamp 'Snowy' but I haven't been able to get my hands on him anywhere - until now...
Recipe
Stamp - Penny Black - Snowy
Medium - Pro/flexmarkers
Papers - LOTV Winter Wishes
Glitter Cardstock
Marianne Designs Snowflake Trio Die
Spellbinders Classic Oval and Lacy Oval Die
LOTV Christmas Wishes Sentiment Wavy Stamp
Brad from Stash
...a side view to show the dimension.
I stamped 'Snowy' with brown Memento ink and he looks so different in brown than black, don't you think? I matched my colours to the papers as best as I could and followed a sketch that I found on Pinterest.

This is one of my fav Snowman images, and he's so easy & such fun to color up. Like the blues & browns you've dressed him up in too. Just made him look more cuddly. Lovely layers, so much dimension, and all the wonderful snowflakes embellishing his sweet little self. TFS & Happy Sunday

He is gorgeous. I was wondering what was different about him. It certainly changes the look by being stamped in the brown. A much softer effect. hugs Mrs A.
I really love this colour combo, especially for Christmas cards and stamping the image in brown definitely gives a different look but one that looks great here :-)
I adore snowmen too so of course, love the super cute Snowy...I'm glad you finally tracked him down!
Big hugs, Kat xx
