This is for SC137 and I wanted to use Anna's (SweetMissDaisy's) Pudgy by Whipper Snapper. He is the perfect size for this layout. Things were going along fine until somehow I got some red reinker washed down into the white of Pudgy's body. Ugh!!! I decided pudgy needed a little more gray shading to see if I could cover up the red. You can tell where this story is going can't you??!! He kept getting darker and darker until I decided he would be a dirty snowman sitting in partially thawed, a little muddy snow. I painted on some caramel around him and then patted on liquid applique with my finger tip to make some funky looking snow. Ok!!! So I didn't do Anna justice...let's just say he is a country snowman that got dirty. Colored with reinkers and watercolor brushes. Does anyone else but me think that the SU Artichoke grosgrain ribbon can swing both ways between artichoke and olive?????

Oooo! I LOVE this snowman and the awesome dp, Kittie! You did a good job of making him dirty; he's dirty just like you are now dirty (as in Dirty Girl)!!! You could start a trend with this dirty, pudgy snowman. Supah cute card!
