Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is a pretty field of flowers! The first thing I saw in this photo is the bright colored stripes so I grabbed the Full of Life 6×6 DSP paper pack to see if I could find anything that would work! And the tropical snowman in the new Mini Catalog seemed like it would be a perfect fit!
SNOWMAN HUGS
Now, I know…a snowman in the tropics isn’t going to last very long and I could have made him out of sand…but oh well! He was just too cute made out of snow so let’s just go with it!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pool Party cardstock was embossed with the Dashing Designs Embossing Folder (I love the texture of this folder!)
- The 4 x 4 piece of Full of Life DSP was cut along the top at an angle and added to the Pool Party layer.
- The circle was cut from Basic White cardstock with the Spotlight on Nature Dies and stamped with the snowman in Memento Black Ink. He and the cockatoo were colored with Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Pecan Pie, Pool Party and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blends. The circle was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on a 5/8 x 2-1/2 strip of Pool Party cardstock and the ends cut at an angle. A 1/4 x 3-1/4 strip of Granny Apple Green cardstock was added under it before adding it to the bottom of the circle with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some white Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack was tied in a bow and added next to the greeting with a Mini Glue Dot
- Three green Shiny Adhesive Backed Sequins were added to the background for a little bling.
