The title of this new stamp set by Anna Wight for Whipper Snapper just cracks me up! Anna's whimsical style and humor really shine through in all four new sets being released today. You can visit Anna's blog to see what each of the new sets look like, along with Anna's faboo sample card. I chose my favorite of these new sets for my card today . . . Snowman for Peace!
I adore snowmen and this one has all kinds of accessories to dress him in, along with five different words for his blank sign (including "Let there be Peace")-- how clever is that?!! I chose to dress my snowman in his stocking hat and scarf but you know with those stiff arms, he couldn't quite get his mittens on! His hat and scarf were stamped, colored, cut out and adhered with dimensional foam tape.
He was stamped with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neeneah Natural White cardstock and colored with these Copic markers and a little clear Spica glitter pen:
The blue dotted Copic on the left is a custom color my sweet friend Lori created for me using BG10 Copic reinker, thinned down with Copic Colorless Blender solution in an empty Sketch marker. This created a very pale blue-green that I used to outline the snowman.
The snowman was cut out with a Classic Square Nestabilities die and the edges inked with Ranger's Antique Linen Distress Ink. His sign was stamped separately, colored, cut out and adhered with dimensional foam tape.
The snowflake is Spellbinders Snowflake Wonder die I used to cut a clear plastic sheet and then covered with Star Dust Stickles. A clear crystal gemstone accents the center of the snowflake. The Cosmo Cricket Be Good paper was distressed and ivory lace was machine stitched onto the card. Card base is Prism Blush Red Dark.
