Jolly Snowman

Hello there.  It's still Christmas in July, and I have a CAS (clean and simple) Christmas card to share using an oldie and cutie stamp from Purple Onion Designs (POD).   For those not familiar, meet Jolly (snowman looking up).  


Jolly was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It paper, coloured with Copic Sketch markers then masked.  Ink blended Water Hyacinth fresh dye ink from Altenew (ALT) then die cut the panel down with the Blanket Stitched Rectangle from Pinkfresh Studio (PFS) for a decorative edge.  

Copic markers used:
carrot nose - YR12/16/23/27, E08 
scarf/pocket - B60/63/66 
twig arms - E31/25/29 
buttons - N7 
snow/shading - B0000/000/00, C00/0/1


And I couldn't think of a more appropriate greeting wish (retired Poppy Stamps) from Jolly. 😉  It was black heat embossed using Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear glitter embossing powder for a bit of sparkle.  Adhered the panel onto a white card base then added falling snow with a white gel pen to finish.
