- 5" x 5" square white card blank
- the snowman stamp is by Penny Black and called 'Warm and Cold', stamped using Memento 'Gray Flannel' ink then coloured a bit with Pro Markers. Shame on me (yet again!), I bought this adorable stamp almost half price in Hobby Lobby with Kay in New Mexico, over two years ago now and this is his first outing
- tickled the snow with 'Crystal Ice' Stickles and touched up the snowflakes around the snowman image using a silver pen
- the snowflakes above the little chap (I think he looks as if he's juggling!) is stamped in Encore Silver ink using a Stampendous stamp called 'Snow Swirl' - with just a few sparkly gems added
- sentiment is by Personal Impressions from their 'MAny Greetings' set, stamped using Memento 'Gray Flannel' ink
I do like Memento 'Gray Flannel' ink for stamping certain images, it's softer than black, as well as still being Pro Marker friendly.
That's it from me, short and sweet today! Aw, bit like that snowman :)
Whoops, almost forgot! Apparently the eye virus is subsiding, medication has been cut down to three times a day instead of five - and I don't go back to hospital for another two weeks. Yay!

I love your sweet card Di and you are right the grey gives it a lovely soft tone. I know exactly what you mean about neglected stamps - the need to buy is greater than the need to stamp!!
ReplyDeleteSo pleased that your eye is looking up - tee hee!! SEE what I did there....sorry!!!
seriously glad you are on the mend. xx
This made me smile Di, what a cutie of a snowman!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much

Terrific one layer. Love the silver added bits, and he does indeed look like a juggler. Just cute as can be. Love the Memento grays for images like this...so very soft. Glad to hear the eye report. Take care. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteA fabulous one layer Miss and I is ever so glad that mangy eye is on the ups! Mrs A, Sarn and Hettie are round the back of the sheds Miss!
ReplyDeleteSo happy that I'm not the only one who has stamps that have never been used. I've had some maybe, ahem, three or more like five years old lol! When DH was working I'd see the stamp and had to have it - the problem with that is that I never knew what to use first!
Being a frugal crafter has (I don't tell non crafting family or DH) been good for me. I'm slowly working my way through fifteen years worth of stamps and shrinking my paper stash - I've not bought a paper pad for three years!
Unfortunately there are still always more new stamps, inks and stencils I want and I've way too many ink pads and most of them are kaput now as they are blooming old too! Take care of you, Len and Spike junior Karen xx
Pleased to hear that your eye problem is improving. :-)
ReplyDeleteJust love this little snowman and the snowflakes above him are just perfect. Brilliant card! xx
