Snowman Season meets Hand Lettered Prose



Hi folks, welcome to my haven in a hectic world.

This is my CASe of a card from Kelly Acheson, A Stamp Above.com  (just love her cards and video's).
I didn't have the embossing folder Kelly used, so used the (r) Cable Knit folder instead.

All measurements are in Inches.
Card base is 5½ x 8½ scorned at 4¼, pool party embossed mat is 5⅜ x 4, black mat is 4 x 3, white mat is 4½ x 3¼.
Colours for this card are basic black, gray granite, pool party.
(cs) = card stock, (ef) = embossing folder, (r) = retired, (ss) = stamp set.

First emboss the the pool party (cs) mat using the cable knit (ef).
Stamp the snowman from the snowman season (ss) using memento tuxedo black ink and colour the scarf using pool party and the rocks using gray granite blends, then stamp the snow flakes in pool party ink.
Using a fine glue add a few streaks across the bottom and cover with stampin' glitter, this grounds the snowman. Adhere to the black mat using liquid glue.
Add the polka dot tulle ribbon down the left side of the embossed mat tying off with a knot, then attach to the card  base using dimensional pads. Then attach the snowman scene again using dimensional pads.
Oops, forgot to colour the snowman's nose before photographing, so don't forget to use pumpkin pie for his nose or one of the nose's from the let it snow embellishment kit. (which is what i used).

Will be back again soon with more cards
