Hi, it's me again! Please, don't fall over in shock. I'd hate for you to break something this close to the holidays. LOL I just finished up a wintery card that was inspired by a trip through a bunch of challenge sites yesterday and I figured I'd post it before bed. (And at least it's not 2 a.m. this time!)
I present to you...
Happy Snow Days! starring Billy from the
Pink Cat Studio:
The glitter--mostly Stardust and Waterfall Stickles--really sparkles in real life. Alas, even with two lamps, these angle shots were the best I could get. But he's still pretty. Wait, boys aren't supposed to be pretty, are they? Ok, well, the sparkly snow is pretty then. =)
I colored my digital Billy up with my Promarkers, with just a touch of T1 Copics to tone down the blue I used for his snowsuit. I wanted to use bright blue and orange together and then I found this paper buried in my stash - what luck! I used two light blue Color Box chalk inks together to sponge the background and then layered two pieces of white cardstock for the snow, glittering the edges with a combination of Stardust and Waterfall Stickles. The shadow under his feet is a bit of Promarkers in blue and grey with some Waterfall Stickles over it. The snowflakes are all Martha Stewart. The little ones are from the Aspen Punch-Around-the-Page punch. These are the positives from punching out on a blue card for another project. The sentiment was done on the computer. A bit of grosgrain in two widths was glued down first, then I used various thicknesses of foam dots. Billy himself has foam squares behind his head and upper body, but his feet are glued to the top snow layer. I thought the shadowing and glitter at his feet would make more sense with his feet actually touching the ground instead of magically hovering above it. LOL
