A Simple Winter Snowman Card!

pt110314d

Hi everyone.  Ok the clock is ticking and I need to get started on my Holiday cards!
7 Weeks to go until Christmas.
I created a  quick and easy Cass Card.
I will be reproducing this card a lot!
I need to send most of my cards some distance and so I need something that is
easy to pop in the mail.
I also need to create 80 cards for my County's Foster Children's Holiday party.
Each child sits down and writes a thank you note to the family that provided them with their gifts.
Hence -  80+ Holiday cards are in order.
I will get the final count soon!   LOL

My designer layer was Neenah Ivory and I stamped the music notes
on the paper, trimmed and then sponged the edges lightly
with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
For a fun TipI wrapped some Baker's Twine around my designer
I threaded the twine through the look at the top.
This allows the tag to have
I did not adhere the tag to the designer paper with
I just let it swing from the twine.

Copic Opaque White Ink was applied using a stylus.
I find that this allows my dots to be more dimensional than when I
use a brush.    I like both techniques.

I also  applied some Opaque White Copic Ink to the snowman and his hat and scarf.

So here is my little snowy fella!
Hope you will give it a try.   It's fun, easy and will go through the mail
without requiring EXTRA postage!
Now that is always a plus!
