Building Snowman by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

 Hi friends!  Here I am again with my final Christmas card for 2020.  I made this card for the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog's last challenge for this year. 

http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/ 

This adorable image is "Building Snowman" by Lemon Shortbread, found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/479419633/digital-stamp-winter-building-snowman?ref=shop_home_active_117&pro=1

This sweet image brings back such fond memories of when my sons and I used to build snowmen when they were little.  We used to live in upstate New York right off Lake Ontario, and we had so much lake effect snow. Such fun!

I drew the background and added white flocking powder to her ear muffs.  I coloured the image with my Copics and Polychromos.

I wish you a wonderful and happy New Year.  Hopefully, it will be better than 2020.  Hugs to you, Lori xx

Poinsettia Gnome by Conie Fong

 Hi friends!  I live in the northeastern part of New York and  you are probably aware that the northeastern areas of the U.S. had a severe winter storm yesterday.  We got 35 inches of snow!  My car is completely buried and it's 3 degrees (-16 degrees Celsius).  So cold!  

This is my DT card which I designed for Conie Fong's current Facebook challenge.  I used the delightful "Poinsettia Gnome" image, found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/911455079/sale-digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_5&pro=1

This is the second card that I made with this darling image.  I coloured him with Copics and Polychromos.  The mistletoe is a free clipart image which I fussy cut and added 3-D foam to all the leaves.  I then added Stickles (Christmas Red) to the berries. 

That's all from me today.  Thanks so much for visiting. I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Materials and Tools Used 

Border:      Marianne Creatables "Snowy Icicles" die LR0392

Mistletoe:  free clip art image from the Clip Art Library  http://clipart-library.com/clipart/55259.htm
