I made this card for the current Just Us Girls Challenge to use stripes, as well as the sketch at Just Add Ink and the colors from ColourQ. I CAS-ified the sketch somewhat but I hope you can still see the sketch in my card.
I stamped and colored the snowman and fire from my new Toasty Greeting set by MFT. I just adore the Birdie Brown sets and can't help buying one or two when ordering from MFT. The other thing I love about MFT is that they offer Fedex shipping, so I get my goodies in just over 48 hours - from Florida to New Zealand! The best part is if I only buy stamps, die and stencils, it's the same price as USPS.
But I've digressed enough. Back to the card. I stamped the Bold Diagonal Stripes Background stamp down the left side of my card base using Old Olive ink. I then cut a smaller piece of white and raised it up on foam tape before adhering my snowman and fire. The sentiment was black-embossed onto vellum and tucked behind the snowman.
Thanks for visiting! Once I've linked this up, I'm heading back to my craft room. A perfect day :)

Beautiful...love this darling snowman! The colors look awesome with this image...thanks for joining us!
This is adorable! Love the way he's leaning back from the flames!! Thanks for joining us at ColourQ!
This is adorable but I've got say I'm worried about the snowman. He's awfully close to the fire....he might melt!
Oh I love him! He's super cute and coloured perfectly! I said about a year ago that I needed a snowman and STILL haven't got one. Every time you use one I try and remind myself to put in an order. This time I'm going to. You always inspire me!
This is just delightful, Karren! I love the bold stamped stripes, the die-cut snowman and fire, and the sweet vellum banner holding the sentiment. Thanks for joining in the fun at Just Add Ink this week.:)
Oh wow this is such a great card! I can't image that snowman is going to last long next to that fire tho :)
Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Add Ink.
