First card of the new year. If I make a card a day, I only have 365 more to go. That's right, this year is a leap year. We get an extra day to make cards! How exciting is that?
The new FS for today is Lunar Lana. Started browsing her gallery from her first card up until the present one. Was fun seeing how Lana's cards just kept getting better and better. For my card today, I chose this one.
Kept the snowman theme, only put my dude in the trees. Took several photos, but liked the one with the shadows the best since it toned down all the white! hehe
Coloring was done with Bic markers. Shaded and floated the clouds with acrylic paint. Did some doodling and faux stitching. For the embellishment, I punched a blue square and a white circle. Folded and cut the circle to resemble a snowflake. Added the star button and thin jute.
Lana have fun being the FS. Hope everyone has a great week and a wonderful new year. Remember, you get that extra day to make another fabulous card! hehe.....TFL :0)

I like how you put that star up there in the clouds!! I also really love the pines that you added. You crack me up figuring out that we have an extra day to stamp. Funny!! Glad to see you and your work on the first day of the year. Happy New Year Cathy!!

I am so excited that I have another whole day opportunity to create this year...wonder just what 2/29 will bring???
Those evergreens remind me of ones I saw on our families annual NEW Years day hike up Spencer Butte...it was invigorating...though mr snowbud was elusive today.
Once again, a most clever card. Happy New Year, down there...let's check back on the leap, 'k?
