More Snowy cards

 I'm working on making my Snowy images into cards.   So far I've managed to make three cards... so warning - photo heavy post. 

First up is a card that used some paper piecing and a touch of watercolouring 

I had this lovely piece of tartan patterned paper in my stash - some freebie papers from a magazine from a couple of years ago.   It was double sided so I used my Gina K Master Layouts to cut the main panel and then used it to add stitching to the sides of the contrast piece.  I matted them with some dark blue card.  Used the smaller rectangle from the ML and stamped the sentiment from Rosie's Studio Hearth and Home set.  I stamped Snowy onto some Mixed Media paper and onto the plaid paper.  I used the die to cut him out and then fussy cut the hat and scarf and added.  I used some watercolour paint to add a bit of shading and for his nose and cheeks.  Added some Kindyglitz glitter glue to part of his hat. Once it was all dry I used some 3D tape to add Snowy to the card. 

Card 2 

For this one I started with Snowy stamped onto some 145lb/200gsm Bristol paper.  I used some cheap KMart Metallic paint to add colour to him.  Added some blue gems to his front.  For the background of the card I used an old Cuttlebug embossing folder - Snowflakes.  I had some lovely blue iridescent card that I used for a layer panel.  Before gluing in behind the panel I die cut the Spellbinders scallop circle.  Saving the blue card.  I then used a Spellbinders Petite circle. I also die cut the two snowflakes that came with the Snowy die.   The sentiment is from the Rosie's Studio stamp set.  I should have stamped it before embossing so had to fussy cut it.

Card 3

And for this final one I used the textured card with the circle already cut out of it.  I made this a shaker card.   For Snowy I again stamped him on Bristol card.  And then used some very cheap watercolour pencils to add the colour to the scarf and hat.  I used a little distress ink to colour the shadows.  The sentiment is from a Waffleflower set. 

I'm entering the first one in the Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Any Goes with the optional challenge - lots of layers

Thanks for stopping by today.  As you can see I had a great weekend playing with Snowy.   Don't know why it took me so long to get him.
