And what else would I be making on a nice Spring day, other than a Christmas card ;) I've seen a few in blogland and my resolution to make one a week has gone to the dogs.
This one was inspired by this week's featured stamper over at Splitcoast - here's Julie's original. For my die cut shape, I cut a rectangle and then used my Paper Smooches stitched lines dies to edge it off and to create the wonky edge. My snowman is from Eat Cake Graphics and featured on quite a few of my cards last year ...
1193-J Snowman (assembled)
Coloured with watercolour pencils. Spectrum Noir sparkle added to his hat and scarf, and clear gloss to his nose and buttons. Paper Smooches snowflakes dies. Purple gems from stash. I'm on the lookout for some new Christmas sentiment stamps, so I'll add it at a later date.

My cards definitely seem to be getting more CAS these days! This one didn't photgraph very well - my green is a much nicer darker green than it looks here, and my sky was darker too - I'd watercoloured a touch round my images and then chalked in some clouds, but they didn't show up in my photo grrr :(

The watercoloring is so sweet on this cute little image. Love the CAS design. Just adorable. Thank you for joining us at Crafty Cardmakers 'Go Green' challenge in honor of St. Patrick's Day.

Both are super cards, Lynne. I especially like the "wonky" side on your rectangle on the Christmas card. That cute snowman is definitely worthy of using over and over. Looks like you used a dotty die down the left side of the birthday card. Love the affect and added interest.
Oh goodness that image works so well with our sketch this week at Sketch Saturday. It may not have photographed as well as you would like but I can still see how beautiful it is! Thanks for joining us this week!
Such a sweet image and your colouring is perfect! Thanks for joining us at Crafty Cardmakers.
