Freshly Made Sketches #168

A very quick card today (yay!) - mainly due to the fact that I had coloured this image up several months ago, and just never got it made up into a Christmas card.  So when I saw the current Freshly Made Sketch, I knew I'd probably have something ready to go that would work.  Since I coloured it up with these papers in mind, all I had to do was grab them, add a little die cut, and we're done.  I love this layout, either straight up like the sketch, or tipped over like I've done - so I'll probably pull it out in the future:

Patterned papers are Merry & Bright, Carta Bella; Stamp is Jolly Snowman Set (Sku#4315), Art Impressions; Ink is Tuxedo Black, Memento; Copic Markers; Joy Script Die, Memory Box.

Jolly Snowman cards

 Once we're past Labour Day in my house, it's officially "Holiday Cardmaking Season"!  I have a small stash already, as I make them year 'round whenever I can... but I tend to step things up a little in September and start to actively tackle my Christmas cards.  With that in mind, I brought out Art Impression's Jolly Snowman Set (Sku #4315) and made two slightly different versions of the same card:

The papers have kind of a 50's muted look to them, so I kept the colouring a bit muted, mounted him on matte gold cardstock, and sprinkled on a few matte sequins.
