Snow girl & Challenge 153

Hello crafters!  

I am here with another digital image from FTHS - her name is SNOW GIRL!!!  

FTHS has a Project 100 Snowmen and I am loving every minute of it.  

This card will be the second entry I submit to the 

weekly sketch inspiration Challenge #153, 

my first entry was not accepted since I reaaaally let my imagination go 

when it came time to follow the sketch.  

I am really hoping this one does the trick!!

I used Copic markers to color this cute digital stamp. 

I colored the image a while ago and saved it for a special occasion. 

So the colors are not fresh in my mind. Sorry! I do know I used a ton of clear wink of stella. Check out the second image below - it sparkles!

I have a real hard time working with patterned papers, 

I really tried to make this one work. 

Maybe that is yet another way these weekly challenges inspire and challenge me!  

I do love the circle vellum touch - though not my idea.  

I actually saw it in one of the FTHS designer team members' card and loved it!! 

In case you were wondering... I fussy cut the image using my Scan N Cut 2.

 And I practice my coloring with Kit and Clowder - awesome online classes.  

Check them out too!

Have a good night! 

Have a happy long weekend if you are in the USA!

Adiós,
