Here is my card for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #12 Snowman. One of my last Christmas cards for this year and this card is for a very special high school friend back East. This was such a fun card to make and I know she will enjoy it.
I started with the Whimsy melting Snowman stamped on white cardstock and used a multi-liner black pen to add some melted snow below the fan to place a cup of hot chocolate. Colored the image, stamped the sentiment and then cut out the top portion of the image for later placement on the background. Cut, stamped and colored the cup of chocolate, placed on the bottom corner on the added melting snow adhering with thin foam tape for dimension.
Now I needed to build the scene. Selected a blue pattern paper for the sky and bordered with candy apple cardstock and adhered to cardbase. Cut a layered sun, colored, stamped sentiment on center cut of sun and adhered direct to background paper. Cactus was cut (only partial used), and adhered to background paper. I had colored the flowers that were a part of the cactus die cut but wasn't pleased with the look, so went through my stash to find some small flowers. Flowers stamped with candy apple ink, fussy-cut and adhered to cactus with glue dots. The image was added to the background with thin foam tape.
