Tuesday Morning Sketches #152

Good Morning!  Happy Tuesday!  This is the 2nd installment this week of some cards I am really super proud of.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

The sketch is up at TMS and it's cute - even if I do say so myself.  Our challenge sponsored by Paper Garden and I've used their digi Snowman image.  No, I am not rushing to the winter season, I just can't resist an adorable snowman.


I am really pleased with my color combo, too.  I never would've thought to put Kraft together with a pastel color.  But I went out on a limb and decided to try out an idea that I had.  I embossed blue piece with the snowflakes embossing folder and then I sponged on white craft ink.  After that I spritzed with Shimmer spray.  Love the results!

Here's a close up...


Look in the lower right corner, you can see it pretty well.

This is a fantastic winter card! Love the faux stitching! Thanks for the close up of the embossed layer--it's hard to see all the sparkle in the main photo, and it's so beautiful, I'm glad I didn't miss it! :)
