Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been around much lately. We have had an amazing amount of entries on the last HLS CAS challenge, and I've been visiting all the entrants and enjoying the creativity. Plus we also had a DT call, so I've been spending some quality time poking through the blogs of the applicants. So much fun!! Just means less time right now for creating, so it's been over a week since I posted a card. Time flies when you're having fun! :)
Speaking of time ... it's now time for the new sketch challenge at Happy Little Stampers. :)
I went in a different direction than the icons on the sketch :) ... but I hope you can see that I kept the two tall elements, with the curved detail in the middle. The sun is replaced with all the falling snow. :)
I used a digital image, printed it twice, fussy cutting one and colouring it with copics. I then coated it with Clear Wink of Stella so it sparkles ... can't see it in the photo above, so I'm including a close up below that shows it a little. :)
I paper pieced the fussy-cut snowman on top of the printed card front, after I glued down twine for the swing and added glossy accents to the light bulbs. Dazzling Details clear glitter glue was added to the falling snow for a little more sparkle. :)
I hope you'll join us for our sketch challenge at Happy Little Stampers. The challenge is open until the end of June ... lots of time to play along. :)
Stamps: Snowman Christmas Lights Swing (Dearie Dolls); Christmas Sampler (Paper Smooches)
Ink: Real Red (SU!); Copics
Accessories & Tools: glossy accents, clear glitter glue, clear wink of stella

You are amazing at all that you are doing! And still find time to make this darling card. Love the touch of the bakers twine with the pretty lights...very dimensional. This is such a fun image, and the WoS did indeed sparkle so brilliantly. He made me smile...what a cutie. TFS & Hugs
Makes me happy just looking at it!
I have one question for you Why in the heck aren't you making clear stamps and die cuts because your art is off the wall and I would buy it all. Lawn fawn artists have such a back seat to your art. Love the snowman hanging on the tree lights.Plaeae think about my question...
