Look at this adorable little snowman! It’s family birthday time again and our youngest grandson is turning two tomorrow! Where does the time go?!
I wanted to play in the NBUS challenge with the option of color pencil on kraft. I love how this almost looks like wood!
I stamped with the MISTI, colored with pencil, then went back and using the MISTI again, I left the stamps where they were, inked with black pigment embossing ink, stamped them and heat embossed them with black powder.
So many times when you color with pencils you lose the strong black line. We used to do this years ago when Stampa Rosa had the House Mouse stamps. We would stamp them their stamp positioner, color them with Tombow markers and then come back and emboss them over the top of the marker coloring. Amazing the difference.
Next time I am going to color the image right in the MISTI without moving the card-stock. There was enough ‘user error’ this time that I had to stamp the bear a few times and ended up with a thicker black line then the stamp really has. grrr Still cute though!
Hopefully we’ll get some snow for his birthday! haha It’s been a weird, rainy Winter for Iowa. Not used to dark and dreary. It’s usually bright with snow! I’m sure we’ll get those Winters again.
Linking up to Darnell’s NBUS Challenge #8 – optional theme ‘use color pencils on kraft’

Could this pair be any cuter? The ‘snow play‘ sentiment fits the image to a ‘t’! This is the NEW 2016 Limited Edition Snowman from Printworks Collection. Part of their latest release which includes more snowmen and wonderful Winter/Snow sentiments. You just can’t get any cuter than Annette’s super cute snowmen!
I stamped the snowflake stamp in the background on Strathmore 140# Mixed Media Card-stock with Versamark ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder.
Distress ink pads and the ink blending tools blend wonderfully on this Mixed Media card-stock. I blended over the embossed snowflakes with a couple different blues and spattered some blue ink and then white with a paintbrush.
I painted/colored the snowman and pup with a combination of Zig Clean Color Brush Markers and Distress Inks. Stamped on watercolor paper with Ranger Archival Black ink and cut out by hand.
The snow border is a new poppystamps die, Dotted Curve.
Wow, the last few weeks…where did they go?! I’ve been making cards, just can’t show them! waaahhh In the meantime, my camera just up and quit one morning! Did you hear me scream? A new camera was not on my radar! If you know me, you know I like to research and develop so to speak. lol
Yes, I lost sleep! Thanks to a generous husband, a very knowledgeable friend and a great salesman at the camera store I have a new camera and now if the sun would just shine…. hehe I’ll figure it out! I have to! lol
Tomorrow is our area stamp club so I’m going to escape from home for a few hours. I am probably the only person that still hasn’t taken their Christmas tree down. I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get a fake tree! Quit laughing at me! haha I’ve been very busy! lol
I’ve missed coming here and chatting through comments. I always appreciate hearing from you and thank you so much to those that sent me Christmas cards! I LOVED them all!
I’ll be back!
