Trio of Snowmen

*Sticky Sale and Ribbon Share will go LIVE TOMORROW, October 15th!

I LOVE snowmen and this new mini set from MFT is no exception. I LOVE that there are 3 snowmen. It makes me think of my munchkins. :) It is called A Scarf for Three (click to purchase).

When making this card, I knew I was going to use the new Chillin' paper pack from MFT so that dictated my colors, but I needed something to POP because there was too much white. I had a scrap of black sitting my desk and went with it. This is the exact size it was and I just left it since it worked well to break up the white and draw attention to the image and sentiment. :)

I used a FAB Heidi Swapp ghost shape snowflake (have I mentioned I love those things?)! I got a speck of black ink on one of the snowman's cheeks and was SO annoyed, but it was colored and done so I went to plan B! Stickles on the cheeks. :) It worked. You can't see the black splat and the card is still usable! *whew* It REALLY drives me crazy when I spend so much time coloring an image and then something happens near the end of the process!

I am not typically a "center everything" type of stamper, but it worked with this card. I wanted to show plenty of the patterned paper (which matched SU colors AND copic colors SO well).

Jody RULES:

• If you have a stitching areas in the corner of your card stock that is unsightly, use some brads to cover it up.


• If you get a spot of ink somewhere along the way, do your best to conceal it using an embellishment of some sort. In this case, stickles.


• If you need a little something extra, but don't have the right colored embellishment and don't want to draw attention away from your focal point, go CLEAR! In this case, the ghost shape snowflake.
