Happy November Friends! How sweet are these little snowmen? It won’t be long before I am making snowmen in my backyard with my little ones. The Spirited Snowmen Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! is the perfect stamp set if you are looking to create a set of cards. It has a great combination of images and sentiments. But best of all… is that it’s simply super cute.  Stampin‘ Up! has a Snowflake Snowcase during the month of November and these Snowfall Thinlet Dies are part of this suite. It features 19 dies with snowflakes ranging from small to big; however, my favourite has to be the large size snowflake. How gorgeous is that?  These snowflakes are perfectly paired with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. This embossing folder gives the illusion of snow falling onto the ground. You can catch me using this snowflake and embossing folder combination throughout the whole holiday season.  I tend to use the same design over and over again – and why not when it’s this perfect. I highly recommend both of these products as I believe you’ll be using them for years and years to come. So, what did I do to colour these sweet peas? Each of these snowmen were water coloured using an Aqua Painter (water brush) and some Stampin’ Write Markers (water-based markers). This is my favourite water colouring technique. Finally, I used the Santa’s Workshop Designer Series Paper as a backing for these amazing snowmen. The red and white striped flocked paper grounds these images perfectly!
Thanks so much for dropping by – until next time,
