Snow in April? You bet!


Well as most of you already know, I participate in the Christmas Card Challenge on Splitcoaststampers (SCS). Every month I make five Christmas Cards, so at the end of the year I'll have sixty Christmas Cards. And since Spring is no where to be found here in Wisconsin (yet we keep getting plenty of snow) I thought it was still appropriate to feature a Christmas Card in the month of April! LOL! Here is one Christmas Card I made for both the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS112) and the Christmas Card Challenge on SCS. The Featured Stamper last week was Just Painting Around. Here is her original card: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1091310?cat=500+ppuser=158949 I changed the images, color, ribbon, and eliminated the sentiment.
To make the card, I stamped the images (unknown) and colored them with Copic Markers. To make the 'snowfall', I dotted on Versamark with a Versamark Pen and sprinkled on Clear Embossing Powder and Heat Set. Then I sponged on Night of Navy ink. I added Liquid Applique for more snow and I put gold Stickles in the windows.
I hope your weather is more spring-like wherever you live! Have a great day! Amy
