Day 21 - "S"

Snow is not something we have to contend with at Christmastime in Australia, but many of us still love a cute snowman card! I coloured the Mr. Snowflake digital image with Prismacolor pencils and added a touch of glossy accents to his spectacles for a glassy finish.

Lots of wonderful S words to chose from. It will be a difficult choice. Love your CAS card. I have to try to remember to frame things the way you do with the lines and connecting the sentiment. That's so neat! Another awesome card, Beccy!

I love, love, LOVE that particular snowman, Beccy! I think I have most of your snowmen and have used them all with great pleasure. Your coloring is wonderful and I dearly love the CAS design. I'm off to get an "S" card made. :-D

Sweet Snowman wearing his spectacles and his Soft Scarf Smoking Silently in the Snow. I love all of the white space Beccy.... Super Sweet

Suze said...

Not something we have a Christmas either Beccy. Although like you I do like a snowman on my Christmas cards so I'm sure that is what my S will be! Need to finish R first though!

Such a cute little guy and that is why I have this set. Just because he is so darn cute. Love your card.

Sweet snowman - I can almost smell the pipe smoke!

He is a sweet snowman. I love those glossy accents that are being used on cards. I'm going to have to find some of that. Another addition to my wish list!

Oh boy Beccy he is so cute. I am not sure smoking would be good for his health he might melt. Take care. Hugs Jackie

Super Sweet Snowman :)
I've only seen snow a couple times {after a long road trip} and think it would be nice to try a White Christmas one day.

Hi Beccy, a very long list of 's' words to inspire us all, I've gone with sunset, silhouette, Santa, sleigh, stars, southern cross, sentiment and swaggie for a truly Aussie Christmas card... have a good one... Megan

Love the delicate colors on this card. So soft yet rich. And the texturing on the fabric of the hat, scarf and gloves is wonderful. [BTW- How did you do that? With colored pencils? Distress eraser? Inquiring Kathy's want to know!]

Beccy said...

Hi inquiring Kathy. I've used pencils on very lightly textured paper. I don't use any gamsol or mineral spirits with my pencils as I quite like the look you get from the texture of the paper.
Cheers,
Beccy

I love how you put the snowman in the spotlights ! He is so adorable. Compliments for the new layout of your blog, I noticed it has changed some time ago, but forgot to mention, looks very modern! Greetings Petra
