CCEE - Snowman with Scallops

Shirley Quarry is the CCEE hostess for February. Her first challenge for the month is to make a card with a snowman and add some scallops. I live in Florida -- we don't have many snowmen here! Several years ago, I bought some templates for different shaped cards. One of the templates was for Winter Notecards. My snowman is 2 3/4" x 3 7/8" -- so I just used him as part of a bigger card. After cutting out the template, I glued him onto a piece of DP and mounted that on the red scallop diecut.



I cut out a hat, added the ribbon band, and drew in his face and coal buttons. There's not a whole lot of stamping on this card -- just the snowflakes down the right side and the sentiment on the inside. The outside sentiment was computer-generated, and I added a little sparkle to the falling snow with Viva Glitter-liner.

Stamps: Michaels $1 snowflake stamp, The Artful Stamper (inside sentiment)
Paper: Mark's Finest Papers - Snowstorm Smooth, Ripened Tomato, Licorice Whips; DCWV Christmas Stack DP
Ink: Memento Sky Blue
Accessories: Fun Expressioins Winter Notecard Template; Memento markers, Spellbinders long rectangle scallop, Viva Glitter-liner, ribbon

Well, isn't that clever! What a great way to use the smaller notecard. I love cards with a fun interactive element like that.

What a super template, Lois. You made a really cute card using him. And, what fun to lift up the snowman for the sentiment.
