Brutus Monroe Hop - December 2019 Subscription Items
Hello crafty friends! Thanks for stopping by today. The Brutus Monroe inspiration team is hopping today with the December 2019 subscription items. I have the stamp of the month, which is this cute little snowman! One of my five year old twins loves pink, so I decided to make this one for her Christmas card this year.
I started by heat embossing the snowflakes onto a piece of Alabaster cardstock with Alabaster EP. I blended Honeysuckle and Rouge surface inks onto the background, and used just a teeny bit of Plum to darken the top edge. I use a scrap piece of Alabaster cardstock to freehand cut the snowy hills with scissors, and then gently blended the Rouge ink onto the top edge. I stamped the snowman with gray ink, so that the lines wouldn't be quite so stark against the soft pink background. I used a very small blending brush to shade a little bit of pink around his edges, and then colored the hat and scarf with colored pencils. After fussy cutting him out, I tucked him into one of the hills. I stamped the sentiment with gray ink as well and trimmed it into a small banner shape...And then I forgot to attach it to the card front! I didn't notice until I had already photographed the card that I never attached it! But I guess since my daughter is too young to read yet, she won't miss it? LOL! I finished the card off with some clear jewels.
Next, hop on over to Cassie's blog to see her beautiful card!
