happiest of holidays


It's time for another Stampavie challenge.  This week's challenge is a sketch challenge.  I used the new Snowy & Rudolph image from Penny Johnson.  I absolutely love snowmen and Penny's new snowmen stamps are so cute!  I paired my image with some patterned papers from My Mind's Eye's Colorful Christmas line.  The colors were a little bright when I started using them, but I think it turned out cute.  The white card base helps balance all the bright colors.  (But does not make it easy to get a good photo. Sorry!)



After coloring my image, I added some icicle stickles to the snow beneath the snowman and Rudolph and to the chipboard snowflakes.  I also added some glossy accents to Rudolph's nose to make it nice and shiny.

Come join us in the challenge for the chance to win a secret prize!  I'm typing this up before we so hopefully it will post okay.  Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend in the US and had a great weekend no matter where you are. :)
