Good evening :) I hope you have had a splendid day. I had a lovely day today .... my DH had a day off and we took the little one to the park in the morning and then for a McDonalds lunch. Tried to put her down for a nap when we got home but she wasn't interested in sleeping but she did happily play in her cot for 45 minutes which gave me the chance to colour this little beauty.
Yeah I know .. you just saw this image in a previous post of mine (Crafting For All Seasons DT challenge post) but it is such a cute one and so easy to colour. You can find it at Meljen's store the image is called Caroling Snowmen. I love colouring Meljen's images as they are so cute and really quick to colour.
I coloured the image in the following Copic Markers:-
R27, G07, C00 and R20 .... yep that's it!
I cut the image out using my spellbinders nestability things ..... wow don't know how I ever did without these! I need more!!!!! I then used a bigger one to do the frame in silver and then embossed it through the cuttlebug.
And then for something totally different Brads! Some pink ones for the cheeks, metallic ones for the buttons and pom poms on the hats, a lovely red star for the snowman in front and then some silver stars in the background. I think it looks TOTALLY AWESOME!!!
I decided not to add anything else to this card .... I love it just the way it is.
And something else I love .....................

Carly, I love what you did with brads. So clever and you also made me giggle. Frame is beautiful and it is so true, how did we manage before dies and cutting machines??? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining this week's Digi Doodle Shop Challenge #81 Winter
Carly. what an ingenious way to use those brads! Very nice touch on the frame to emboss it too. I know what you mean about needing more Spellbinder dies. :0) I don't know how I made a card without dies before! Awww...Madalyn is so adorable! Hope your having a good week!
