This cute snowman image from JustRite's Old Fashioned Christmas set is such a perfect fit for the fun patterns and colors of Cosmo Cricket's Jolly By Golly paper collection. I stamped the little fella in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Classic Crest Solar White card stock and colored with a combination of Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils. I accented the mouth and eyes with tiny black Kaiser Craft pearls, added some liquid applique to the furry parts of the Santa hat, and sprinkled on some glitter to the snowman's face.
The layout is mostly this week's Sketch For You to Try. I say mostly because that top circle panel is actually not included in the sketch, just the rectangle behind it. The image just looked so much better framed by the circle that I made that "adjustment." To see the real SFYTT, visit Jen at i{heart}2stamp, where you'll see the sketch, her sample, and guest designer Gretchen Belknap's sample. Carole is still on break, but the rest of the crew is on hand this week with more inspiration: Amy Rohl, Kelly Lunceford, and Susan Liles. We love when you play along - link up your sketch project to Jen's post and remember to use keyword SFYTT when uploading to SCS or PCP.
Here's a look at the inside, where I added the sentiment (from Christmas Joy by JustRite) and a little bit of decorating:

Such a beautiful card! But then so are all your cards :-)
Beautiful and fun at the same time! LOVE the DP and I can't wait to try this sketch!!! Have a great weekend!!
Precioso, los papeles son increibles, todos los detalles y el stamp, me encantan, este card lo tendré en cuenta cuando haga mis felicitaciones de Navidad, desde luego no copiar porque ademas no tengo esos bellisimos papeles ni el stamp, pero la composicion esta genial. Bss
He vuelto a verlo nuevamente y el stamp que queria decirlo antes, lo has bordado, está de película, lo blanco del gorrito no sé que es, pero ha quedado increible. El coloreado ya es que me supera. Bss
This is so beautiful! I love the pearls and applique - makes it almost life-like!
I love that little guy! YOu did an amazing job coloring him and adding all of the details! I am especially in love with the touch of glitter...so perfect. I am going to have to remember that one when I use my snowmen images! Amazing!!!!
How absolutely charming is this card Amy!! I LOVE how you colored the scarf!! And the inside details are just as fabulous as the outside!! So clever to have just a hint of embossing on the upper half of the card. And then the piercing too. FABULOUS!!
Lovin this Amy!!
Just gorgeous Amy! The snowman is gorgeous with these papers and I love that ribbon! Great job finishing it off on the inside!

OMG, this is so adorable! I clicked on it to make it bigger, followed every link, stared some more, clicked again, and now my coffee is done. Need to go refill and come back. No matter how much I study your work, I still cannot understand how you manage to put together such top notch work day after day. Your cards are so unique and different from each other. That's quite a talent. I'd love to hear your thought process when you start out. After all that, I forgot to say, this is so darn cute!
