I created this card for this week's Sweet Stop sketch. It was a great sketch to work with and you can see the sketch and challenge info here: www.sweetstopsketches.blogspot.com
For the ways to use it challenge I decided to step out of my comfort box and color on kraft paper. I have never actually done that before and have seen many others color directly on kraft and I have always wanted to try it. Whenever I have used kraft before I have paper pieced the image so this time I used a white prismapencil for the snowman and copics for the rest. The lights are done with diamond stickles, the scarf is paper pieced, and the edges are sponged with white. I stamped my own patterned paper for the bg. The snowman is from the newly released "You light up my life" set from www.sweetnsassystamps.com
This is the first SCS challenge that I have been able to participate in for a very long time due to my new work schedule. It was nice to be a part of it again. TFL!

This is absolutely adorable. I would never think of doing a snowman card in black, kraft, white and red but it is so very effective. Love the glitz on the lightbulbs too.
