Snowman Card Challenge

Well, it's snowing AGAIN!  I know if you live in northwest Indiana this is way to early in the winter season to be complaining about snowfall.  But I have a 500+ foot driveway to shovel since our snowblower gave out.  So yuck!!!!!!!  I always knew that snow blower was a coward.

Anyway
Cricut Cardz Challenge #58 is a Snowman Card Challenge.  I was nice, and chose a sweet card with a smiling snowman even though right now I'd like to plow him over.  So here's my entry from the Pooh and Friends cartridge.

Isn't he cute.  The snowman is an "ICON" on the cartridge.  There's a screen shot of the gypsy further down to show where he is located.  It really has no details or layers, so I used chalk to give him dimension and to make the arms have some color.  I used a Peachy Keen stamp for his "cute little face"  I still want to plow him ... er I mean hug him.  Pooh is just the one layer. I used a black gel pen to highlight his face and other features.  The snow drift is from Everyday Paper Dolls.  It is one of the scenery images on the bottom row.  I put a screen shot of the gypsy below to locate. it.  Pooh, his shirt and the snowman were cut at 3.5".  The snow drift was cut at 5.5".  The snowflakes are buttons from Michaels, and the background paper is DCWV Stack #7.  Oh, yeah.  For the inside of the card I thought this was really appropriate...





 The snow is the last image of the last row.  It's probably hills, but I thought it made a great drift.
 The snowman is on the fourth row, four column over.
 The Pooh image is the first row, fourth column - you use layer 1 shift to get the shirt.
Oh, well back to shoveling. 
Thanks for stopping by.

  1. Great Pooh snowman card. I know how you feel about the snow. I'm in Michigan and as I type this facing my craft room window the snow is just coming down so hard I can hardly see the neighboring house. I'd be in Florida right now for the winter with our fifth wheel camper if my husband and I hadn't gotten so sick in December. By the time we were well enough to travel we were snowed in. YUCK!!!
    Anyway, thanks so much for joining our snowman challenge at Cricut Cardz.
