Hi everyone. Today's card features a free digital image from Bugaboo. They have a new free image each Friday - how nice is that??!! :) I changed the image up a little ... the original had a star dangling from the snowman's hand, but I replaced that with three red jingle bells that are not only fun to look at, but fun to listen to! :)
I paper-pieced the snowman, adding lots of layers and a little sponging. I cut out the base image before paper piecing, so replaced the digital image of the ear muff wire with a piece of real wire - happy with how it turned out. Hope you like.
Here's a close-up:
Paper: White (Neenha); Be of Good Cheer DP (SU! - retired), red glimmer
Ink: Smoky Slate, Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green (SU!)
Accessories & Tools: Wire, Red Glitter Glue, Dazzling Diamonds, Hemp twine with copper, red jingle bells, glue, adhesives, glue dot, and dimensionals

My stargazer lilies are out in full bloom so wanted to share a picture with you. These are my favorite flowers ... and I can smell their lovely scent when I'm sitting out on the deck.

Love your stargazer lilies. I love their scent too. Right now my garden is full of the scent of phlox and sweet peas.
Fab card Loll. I've just downloaded this image and love how you've paper pieced him and the shading is great. Super idea for the ear muffs. Don't you just love Stargazer lillies.......mine are just coming out now.

Beautiful card Loll, I love the snowbank he's sitting on, the sparkle is lovely. Fab lillies too. One of our cows has been in the garden and munched anything that was growing, especially the passionfruit vine :( LOL!! We're still harvesting the fruit so that's something , Cathy x
What a lovely card, and your paper piecing is always wonderful. I enjoyed reading how you changed up the digi image to make it all your own. What a great freebie on this one. Will have to check Bugaboo freebie next Friday. Liked your idea of adding the jingle bells too...nice creative touch. Thanks for sharing your beautiful lilies -- they are gorgeous. Have a great Sunday afternoon, and enjoy. TFS
He's adorable, Lolly! Funny smile on his face, like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, or an outlet! It's cute as can be with the jingle bells!! Thanks for sharing the star lilies, too!! xxoo Dolly
