Time for another great sketch challenge from the Operators of Stamping 411. AND, I have a sad announcement to make. I've come to a hard decision to give up my Stamping 411 Design Operator position. I've really enjoyed working with the other operators on Stamping 411…a truly class act of women with enormous talent! Don't worry, I'll still be playing along with the challenges as much as I can, but just not as a designer. I know I'll miss it, but also know that it is the best thing for me right now! I wish the team the BEST!
But…on to my last card as a Stamping 411 Operator! I LOVE this new set from Stampin' Up!, Snow Much Fun! I flipped the direction of the sketch only because my snowman was facing the other way.
Last year my Christmas cards were done in these colors, so I thought I'd recreate them for this card! I started with a base of Cherry Cobbler cardstock, then layered on Whisper White. I added another layer of Crumb Cake that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder. I stamped the snowman on Crumb Cake cardstock with Black Stazon. Then I used some White Craft Ink Refill and my AquaPainter to color him a whitewash color. I added Basic Gray and Cherry Cobbler to his scarf, hat and boots. That was layered onto more Whisper White and Cherry Cobbler Cardstocks.
I used the Tasteful Trim XL Die to make the "snow" along the bottom and stamped the greeting in Black Stazon. It is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals on the front of the card. I added Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon tied across the front. And I also added a trio of White Naturals Designer Buttons with Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine tied inside for my "snowballs". lol!
I had SO much fun making this card for Stamping 411! I hope you enjoy it, too! Make sure to check out what the rest of the Design Operators did this week!
I love this little snowman card…it is so cute!
Hate to see you leave the 411 team. But I will watch for your cards!
Wow Connie,
This is a fantastic card. I've never tried coloring with the white ink refill, great idea. Thanks for sharing so much and I'm sorry to see you go, you'll be missed.
I like your card and I like your style of stamping. You will be missed!!
Sad to see you leave Stampin 411 but we all have priorities in life that change what we are able to do! So take care and I hope all goes well with you!!
