A few weeks ago Kia shared this video tutorial on doing a snowman that has some 3-D depth to it. and I loved all the shadows and cringed over the idea of sketching the snowman. So, its been a thought in the back of my mind to try some day with a stamped snowman as I have probably 100 snowman stamps ( not kidding) and then yesterday Julie shared this gallery belonging to Patti S Brown for the Featured stamper and She had done a series of cards using this old Penny Black Snowy stamp and I started to grin as I knew that this image was pretty close to the one that was shown sketched in the Video Kia shared.
So I stamped it with some Morning Mist Versafine on Artist loft watercolor paper.
Added a smidge of paints ( Daniel Smith) and walked away.
It was actually snowing here as I did this so, it took some time between layers to dry and I did not finish it until Monday Afternoon.
I did not follow detailing of the snowman in the video that closely but, did add layers and layers to the shadows.
Remembering what I had from Patti's card I knew there was sparkles in the layers and the red background so, to make changes I used a piece of Recollections red snowflake printed paper, wrapped some large vintage lace around it and used some SU morning mist? cardstock for the base. The watercolor panel was cut with the mid sized blanket stitched die in the Pinkfresh set and I used the same die to get the outside stitches on a scrap of must be riding hood red. ( best guess) and Then I used a Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle die to cut out that drop piece to make the frame. The Poppy Stamps let it snow was diecut and glued together sometime after new years and out of the little tray on the table. And I realized as I looked at this that there are no sparkles in the layers. I'm OK with that. you have to make changes anyways to Featured Stamper inspired cards. This one is 5 1/2" square in real life. Thanks for stopping by.
