Hi! It's time for our monthly CCEE challenge where someone in the group sends out the challenge supplies to the others. We're doing it early this month due to the holidays. Cindy Haffner sent us our awesome supplies this month, which were:
1. Baby It's Cold Outside by My Favorite Things stamps
2. Red and white striped paper
3. Various punch out items (LOTS!)
We had to use the stamp set, the striped paper and two of the other items. I chose the Christmas trees and sparkly snowflakes. We were to make a red and white card, but could also use black, if we wanted.
I put liquid applique on the top of her boots and used white acrylic paint and dazzling diamonds for the snow. I paper pieced her coat and used markers to color the images. Using the same hat as the snowman's, I also made one for the woman and popped her's up on dimensionals.
