I'm not sure why, but this might just be my favorite card ever. It looks kind of simple, but it actually took a lot of cutting. I'll start with the background and go up to give the recipe:
Card is an A2 sized light blue card. The white part was cut on the top with an EK Success punch and then I used some of the Target washi tape to put across it (it's the two lines of blue dots behind the snowmen).
Both snowmen are cut at 3 inches from Doodlecharms. I put the snowlady together upside down so she'd be facing the other way and outlined their mouths with gel pen. I colored the areas of their buttons black and colored their noses orange (so I didn't have to make the entire layer cut again just for the two noses on orange paper).
The snowman's hat is from the worm page of Create a Critter, cut at 3 inches. I put Black Diamond Stickles on the band. His scarf is cut from Winter Frolic at 3 inches. It's from Snowman 2. I assumed that since I cut the snowman at 3 inches, that accessories from other figures cut at 3 inches would also fit. For him, it fit perfectly!
The snowlady's flowers were cut at various little sizes from Create a Critter's Zebra page. They've got just a little Glam Pink Stickles. Her hat is from Winter Frolic's Girl 5 at 3 inches. Her coat did not quite fit at 3 inches because her body is so much wider than the body of the little girl it was made for, so I ended up cutting that at 3.75 inches.
I popped the snowmen up on popdots so they would stand out a little. The sentiment is a leftover that I bought at Hobby Lobby a few years ago in a packet for some Christmas presents I was making, so I have no idea who makes it. It had a clear backing, so it was perfect for this spot.
I plan to enter this card in the following challenges:
Simply Create Too- Use it two times
Cardz TV- Christmas in July
