Samantha is snow glad we're friends. She especially loves to be on the coast, swimming in the warm waters of the Pacific or the Gulf. She is very conscious of the fact that she could melt but it's worth the risk. She's a lot like Olaf in Frozen....just happily bopping around, enjoying whatever weather comes her way...kind of like me in WI. It was in the 70s yesterday; today it's in the 30s.
I was influenced by Wednesday's sketch...just marvelous, I do thank you for the CAS sketches that allow for more freedom; and for Tuesday's colors. Wasn't sure I was going to do that challenge, but found an idea on Pinterest that I thought would work. This card is not a style I usually do but I do have some friends in warm places and this will go to one of them.
I created the sky with bermuda bay and melon mambo, along with some white clouds to tone it down. After all, it is snowing. Samantha is cut from a scrap of white metallic, as are the snow banks she sits in. I used the granny apple green for her two piece swimsuit, fussy cutting out the bottom and the flower on her head (hair? she has no hair). A Sharpie was used for her face details and I cut a carrot from an orange cs. Some chunky glitter accentuates the snowbanks and the silver snowflakes and sentiment are for the sketch.
Thanks for the challenges; lots of fun was had.

Jean, I'm so glad you didn't pass on this week's Color Challenge! This snow lady is so cute with her tropical attire. I adore the bio that accompanies the card. It helps me understand Samantha's motivations and wishes much better. Wish I could be with her at the beach!
