Snow in July

Hello! Today I'm going to share with you a card I made for the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch. I found a couple of new challenges to pair it with. The first one is a Christmas card challenge called Winter Wonderland. They are challenging us with the theme, Simply Snowmen this week. The other is called Use Your Stuff. I used the colors from their mood board for my snowman card.

For this one-layer card, I picked 8 snowflakes from four different stamp sets and lined them up on a block. Then I inked and stamped them in different colors for a kind of ombre effect. I cut the snow man with my circle cutter, and layered him in Lagoon to look like a he has a shadow. Then I hand cut out a scarf, hat, and carrot nose and glued them on with help from my 4-year-old. She wanted the sentiment to say "Happy Christmas," so I selectively inked a Happy Valentine's Day and a Merry Christmas to make it say "Happy Christmas."

I hope you like my card and that you'll come play along with me!
