It's good to be back to work...though I really enjoyed taking December off. It was awesome having Matthew home with me for a few weeks where we could sleep in and veg out all day...ahh...loved it.
But life must go on and we are now back into the full swing of things. And with that we have a super adorable new release today from Sami Stamps called Snowman Friends! We're also starting our January challenge to add some sparkle! This one should be pretty easy since no card is complete without some shine!
For the coloring, I pulled out my brand new Prismacolor pencils that Matthew got me!! They are luscious...and might take me a little bit to get used to. But I'm excited to play around with them a bit more and see all the wonderful things they can do!
To finish off the card, I added some little sparkly snowflake dots around the snowman as well as along the snow hills, and then scattered some sequins across the background.
I hope you'll stop by Sami Stamps and join in our Sparkle challenge! Just remember to use a Sami Stamps image!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

What a sweet snowman ... and I love the sentiment! Thanks for sharing this beautiful card with us this month for the Paper Sweeties January challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome creation...Love the inking on your background. Thank you for linking with us at Word Art Wednesday. Our current challenge is still ongoing and we would love to have you participate again. I would like to share this passage from the Bible coming from Hebrews 6:11-12 which says, "We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised." Have a blessed week.
