Congratulations to Beate on being chosen this week's Queen for the Day! I so appreciate all the wonderful video tutorials and inspiration she has provided over the years. I chose to case her cute Sparky card.
I changed:
1. stamps
2. doodling instead of sewing
3. used gemstones instead of dew drops
4. added designer paper bg
My acrylic block technique didn't come out quite as good as I would've liked, but it's probably because I first stamped and then masked my snowman as I didn't want to have to cut him out.
This is also for Jeanne's Free for All challenge to make a Valentine card using a heart and Cathy's Ways to Use It challenge to use a snowman.
TFL!

Well, I've never seen a Valentine card with a snowman on it, but then again, why not? After all, Valentine's Day is in the winter! Beautiful card, Charlene, pretty dp and snowflakes!

Charlene, love your sweet snowman Valentine! As cold as it is in Febuary, that does make sense....

Charlene you really got in a lot of challenges in this card..how sweet to have the snowman holding a heart. And I really like how your block bg turned out..it's just right not overpowering of the true star..your snowman! Nice doodling,too..always fond of doodles
