I 'm dreaming of a 'not too hot Christmas':)
I realised yesterday I didn't have any snowman stamps, because I don't see too many snowmen here in Melbourne:) However, I've seen so many cute Snowman themed Christmas tags, that I couldn't resist buying this Stampendous stamp today.
I was especially inspired by Nicky's tag from Day 6 for Avery Elle. I had planned to make a shaker, but I really liked this oval die and I didn't have another die to go with it.
This watercolour paper is incredibly absorbent, so I heat embossed the image to stop seeping colours and used minimal water with Zig Markers. The background is a really pretty colour IRL of glitter paper.
I'm also sharing my tag at the following:-
I recently purchased this gorgeous stencil from The Greetery. They have so many gorgeous products!
The die is from Kaisercraft and the sentiment is from Hero Arts. I used silver glitter paper behind the die.
I'm sharing this card at the following challenges:-
Thanks for visiting:)

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Aussie Christmas - I will be coming to Melbourne in February but am looking forward to a cold Christmas in the UK. Doubt there will be enough snow for a snowman though!

Love your snowman Jenny - that is one gorgeous tag. I too am hoping Christmas won't be too hot this side of the ditch (Tasman). Your sweater looks wonderful, and I love the silver behind it
