SUPPLIES

DIES: Cover Plate: Snowman
CARDSTOCK: Hawaiian Shores, Stamper’s Select White, Pure Poppy, True Black, Orange Zest, Bitty Big: Tropical Teal
INK: Aqua Mist, Tropical Teal, Scarlet Jewel
OTHER: Dr. Ph Martin’s white bleed-proof ink, Star Dust Stickles, black beads, fine-line marker

TIPS: 

  • Die-cut some of the elements from patterned paper, such as the Bitty Big: Tropical Teal paper that I used for the brim and pom pom on the hat.
  • Use a black fine-line marker to add the dots on the mouth to make it stand out more.
  • Add details to some of the elements with a white gel pen.
  • Adhere the sentiment slightly offset to create a bit of separation from the background.
