Snowmen in August??

I played with a sketch challenge on Paper Wings a couple days ago and ended up with a Christmas card...   Well, you know how it is sometimes...  You start with one idea and it gets turned around into something totally different than what you envisioned.


I used Reece SWIC and cardstock and Snowman Nativity stamp set.  I colored with Copic markers and used the Stardust Clear Gel pen on the dots...


Here you can see the shimmer on the dots and my coloring. The image was just small enough that shading was difficult.  Anyway, I like how the card came together with the sketch.  What do you think?  Are you getting a jump start on your Christmas cards??  I have about 50 made already so I can take my time to finish a few more before it's time to send them out. 

I don't think I've reminded you that most all the products I use are linked to my shopping cart to enable your viewing them in their entirety and to see the cost.  Just click on the product if it is underlined or colored. Also, I'm in a Blog Tour/Hop Sunday evening.  I think you'll enjoy what I've made so don't forget to come back!
