Stamped snowman, stamped again on sticky note and cut out. Overlaid cutout over top of stamped snowman. Stamped pueblo, stamped again on sticky note and cut out. Overlaid on stamped pueblo. Continued moving pueblo as I overstamped more pueblos. Drew background mountains with pencil, colored mountains and snowman with white paint pen. Colored pueblos with alcohol markers. Colored snowman clothing with VersaMark x-fine markers. When my sister saw the pueblo stamp she laughed and asked 'why would anyone buy a pueblo stamp!' so every year I make her a card using the pueblo stamp (it came as part of a set I bought on eBay). A snowman doesn't really belong in the dessert with pueblos but it's for my sister. :-)

Okay, that is an awesome story! Totally made my morning! Pueblo stamp for the win! The paint pen snow has an amazing texture to it and you did a fantastic job masking (which I always screw up). Love this!

Aren't sisters special.. I love your card, and the story behind it. Great design, and I love the paint pen snow, and the pueblos are wonderful. I know your sister looks forward to receiving these birthday cards. Great card. tfs.

Actually a snowman does belong there! We drove through Albuquerque right after Christmas and there was a few inches of snow. It looked beautiful on all the red rocks. Love your card and your pueblos
Pueblos! Really? LOL, Love this card, very unique just like the person who designed it! Love the detail in the mountains, looks very textured. Layering of the pueblos is very well done. Can't wait to see this in person!
