Good morning, it's my turn to host at Crafty Catz this fortnight, as always the theme is Anything Goes.
I made this card during the heatwave- trying to think cool thoughts! I added the two strips of patterned paper (very old!) to a panel of kraft card, then stamped the snowman (Woodware) in the centre, coloured him with pencils, stamped and embossed the sentiment. I used a white gel pen to add the 'snow'- quick and simple but another Christmas card for the box!
There's more inspiration at Crafty Catz, so please do hop over and take a look. Hope you can find some time to join us for this challenge.
Thanks for looking
Chris

Your snowman looks wonderful against the kraft panel, and the way the patterned strips frame him gives the whole card a warm, homespun feel; the pencil coloring, embossed sentiment, and little gel‑pen snow details come together so nicely to create a simple but charming winter design.
ReplyDeleteYour stamp was made to go with that paper. Great card.
ReplyDeleteLove this combo of kraft and white for your snowman, and the stamp and paper go perfectly together xx
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful card! I love it that you've stamped the cute image on kraft and coloured it.

ReplyDeleteYour snowman and papers just belong together Chris and the kraft card is the perfect addition. Love this one.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, just wanted to say how much I LOVE your card. Funny fact: I have that exact same snowman paper in my stash which has been there forever. I haven't cut into it because I love it - but I guess I should. Maybe seeing your card is my inspiration to use it.
ReplyDeleteAdorable!! Way to go “shopping your stash” for our KRAFT-astic challenge over at Shopping Our Stash challenges.
