Fun color combination today! I liked it more than I thought I would even though it was a little challenging for a Christmas card. I have this cute new snowman scene and window die and I really wanted to use it so I hunted around and found some dp that had the colors.
After stamping the scene on kraft, I masked it and stamped the trees again for a fuller look. With a tiny acrylic paint brush, I painted bleach onto the snowman and snow areas of the scene. I used markers to add some color to the scene. The window was cut into a ridged kraft c/s and then I decided it needed to be lighter so I rubbed white ink over it and embossed it.
The curtains were die cut out of the cajun color dp and added on top. The turquoise dp had a little of the peachy cajun color in it but I added a bit more w/ markers. The finished kraft card is 4.25 x 5.50.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups will be on my blog in just a bit. The Write Stuff

OH, I just want to go out and play in the snow and build a snowman and hear the red birds sing and...... no on second thought, I just want to just sit in my rocking chair with my hot chocolate and look out this window and smile.
