This is for today's featured stamper Tobi who has a gallery full of stunning and vibrant colors and designs, (kinda like blondie who is featuring her) and this is the card I chose to case: cas81 - kraft, turquoise and white by jazzytobi at Splitcoaststampers I was actually inspired more by the title than the card itself and the bg paper also brings in the touch of red and the little shot of plaid. I knew I wanted to try a white on kraft design using a snowman ever since I saw Anna Wight's tutorial and the turquoise gave me the color for the hat and patch, but boy oh boy did I lay down a lot of colors and mediums to finally get this hat!!! I colored the snowman white with my watercolor pencil and then totally dotted him with my signo gel pen. I had to go over my lines with my little black ZIG .005 to make them stand out again. Instead of dots, I have snowflakes, and instead of a curlycue ribbon, I have a tiny black sliver of paper run through my corrugator.

Sigh..... I want to be you when I grow up.. This is fantastic.. I LOVE that you used Anna's tut. I saw that the other day and haven not had time to try it.. What a great idea with the little dots. That gives him some texture.. So sweet Michele.. LOVE this.
