I’m combining this weeks Festive Friday with my prompt response for the Christmas in July group too – as I must admit I kind of forgot about it and then Karen has been posting all those fabulous snowmen cards in the group so I got crafting!
Our theme for January was do you wanna build a snowman and this is the card I made featuring many many snowpeople!
Now it is quite an unusual colour scheme for a Christmas card but I love it!
I chose the colours based on the ColourCube card I selected from the Winter selection.
I must admit I might have been tempted to say this is more autumn than winter vibes but I think it still works! Admittedly my colour choices might have been more pinky than orangey but still not bad!
What really amused me was that I was visiting my friend Deb’s blog last night and she had used a random number generator and it gave her the same card I had chosen! Can’t believe in the same week we’ve used the same card as inspiration by accident!
I used my alcohol markers to add the colour and then base of the grey and the coral pink colour to keep it going!
Added the Mossy meadow sentiment, because I wanted to bring in a bit more of the dark green.
I then went to town with the wink of Stella for shimmer! 💖
Inside the card I added a strip with a few more snowpeople and edged it with the pen to give it some framing – otherwise kept it simple!
So it turned out I did wanna build multiple snowmen … but as someone who hates being cold and physical work I only like building them like this inside my warm craft room! 🤣
So there we go – four Festive Fridays done – including this one which is also my Christmas in July January project.
I did record the process of this card too if you want to check out my YouTube video
Happy crafting!
