Peeking Snowman and Friends

Hello there.  I’m back today with another non-traditional colour Christmas card featuring another new product from a recent Hero Arts order.  I used the Peeking Snowman die for my card.  This snowman couldn’t be any cuter, right?.… wellll, how about with two of his friends joining him! 😉

Except for the main part of the top hat which was die cut from dark gray, all pieces were die cut from white cardstock.  The carrot noses and the toque hat brim were coloured/shaded with Copic Sketch markers, while ink blending with distress inks (DI) using blender brushes was done on the rest.

Copic markers used:

toque brim - C1/2/3 

carrot - Y38, YR04/07/27 

shading - C00/1/2

DI used:

purples - Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion 

top hat - Black Soot

Used the Crop-a-dile (remember that tool? 😂) to punch out the eyes from black cardstock.  The birch tree (retired My Favorite Things die) was die cut from Bristol paper and inked with Pumice Stone DI.  The sentiment from Winter Foliage was heat embossed on black cardstock with white embossing powder.  It was a bit crowded on a standard A2 size card, so the card was assembled onto an A6 size (4.5x6-inch) Bristol panel that was lightly ink blended with Shaded Lilac DI at the top.  Added falling snow and highlights to their eyes with a white gel pen to finish.  

Almost forgot to mention that partial die cutting of the hat on the front snowman was done using the circle opening part of the peeking snowman die.  Hope that makes sense.  Anyway, that does it for my card.  Thank you for stopping by.
