Freshly Made Sketches #11



Here are the directions for joining in the fun at Freshly Made Sketches # 11.  This is my take on the sketch:
 I am still making Christmas cards and I just love this Itty Bitty Unity stamp Roly Poly Winter Joy...he is such a cute little Roly Poly Snowman and I do have fun coloring him with copics.  The snowflake background paper was made with water color paper embossed with the Provo Craft Snowflake folder and then inked up with two Distress Ink...broken chine and bundled sage and then of course spritzed with some Perfect Pearls to give it a little shine and sparkle.  The Snowflake was cut using a PTI die and then embossed with white powder.  I then used the same distress inks to color in the snowflake a bit.  I added a little button with some twine and call it good...  thanks so much for taking a look...
