Our challenge this month at Pearly Sparkles is snowpeople - snowmen, snowwomen, snowkids - I think you get the idea. I have recently purchased Mr Frostie from Tim Holtz - I loved it last year but it was sold out so I was delighted to be able to get it this year and to be honest I can't stop using it. I think I'm already boring Instagram with images!
I used the snowflakes from the set to create the background using the watercolour stamp technique. Add ink to the stamp then spritz with water to give a soft image. I added extra touches of ink in Salvaged Patina and Salty Ocean and scribbled a border around the outside.
I used an image from Tim Holtz from one of his large Collage Strips and I loved the way this couple were standing behind the snowman. It fit the sentiment from the set perfectly. I stamped Mr Frostie separately and cut him out - I added some Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Texture Paste to the snowman's body which makes him sparkle but sadly it doesn't show on the picture. To finish off the card I added an old Tim Holtz snowflake.
