Chillin' with my Snowmies....

 It's time for the latest challenge at Christmas Kickstart Challenge and it's right up my alley... Chillin' with my Snowmies.... 


Perfect timing as I still have a couple of Penny Black Snowy's painted up waiting to be used.   

Today I used the one I had stamped onto some Mixed Media paper and painted with Orange Cream from the Altenew 36 pan watercolour set. 


I decided to use the Cuttlebug Snowflakes embossing folder for my background.  I inked it up with some Catherine Pooler Orange Twist ink and ran it through my machine.   Love how it turned out.  I found some gorgeous burnt orange paper in my stash and used my new Gina K Master Layout 12 set to die cut the fancy circle frame.   It cuts the circle out of the frame but I just laid in it back in.  I pop up Snowy on the frame.   I stamped a sentiment from Rosie's Studio Hearth and Home set with the Orange Twist ink and fussy cut it out.   I am so pleased how this non-traditional coloured card turn out.

So happy to see Snowy again! I banned myself from using this stamp for this challenge - it was a struggle. Ha ha! Gorgeous card, Dawn, and I love your non-traditional colour combo so much. Thanks for joining the fun with Kimberly and me at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
