I was on a roll this week creating cards using our Snowman Topiary stamp. Who knew this stamp was so versatile?
This was actually the first card that I stamped in the series. One of our favorite "tricks" is to stamp an image once on plain cardstock and then again on patterned paper. In this case, I used our Green Madeira 4-bar notecards to stamp the image onto. I then carefully cut out each circle of the Snowman and adhered them using my Quickie Glue Pen.
I like to combine our blue & green Madeira 4-bar notes together - especially for the holidays.
This next card is not one of my favorites and I will probably redo it. I do like the snowman guys turned towards each other. I think what bothers me about this card is that I did not color their "heads" in green. The snowmen sparkle IRL - I used my new Copic Spica Glitter pens. So fun!
I like the simplicity of this next card. I masked the base of the topiary to make it look like a giant snowman. The snowman is colored in with a white gel pen. It's hard to see in this photo but I added diamond glitter glue to the center of the asterisks on the card.
I have a couple more cards to show you with this little guy. Stay tuned!










Too cute! I love your use of the Madeira notecard for the snowman on the first one. Now I have another stamp on my list!
