I Love Snowmen!

We had more snow last night and today so I decided yesterday to start a snowman card! This guy is so cute and I have to thank my friend Pia for letting me stamp this image when a lot of my dear friends, my sister and I went on a stamping weekend in Vermont a couple of months ago.

The card took me alot longer to make than I expected because I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it at first. I finished around lunchtime today after I slept on a few ideas that I had for it. I am happy with the way it came out though if I do it again I would change a few minor things. You can't tell from the picture and I am not good enough with my camera yet to show you but the backround of the snowman is shimmery. I painted sky blue Shimmerz on the sky and angel wings on the snow and the saying and punched snowflakes. I was hoping to make the snowman pop from the backround . The snowman was painted with Copics and the sky was colored with Prisma pencils and Gamsol. I used a Signo white pen on the flakes after everything dried. I tried to make the card pink and purple to get away from using blue but I ended up using blue instead of purple anyway because it looked the best!
