Christmas in July: Snowman

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

So crazy to think that Christmas is 6 months away, so we are doing a "Christmas in July" Challenge here on the Portal.  And this is a fun card for the first day of this Challenge, using the Snowman stamp from Carmen's Veranda as well as the Find Your Happy Place clear stamp, also from Carmen's.

The background for this card is one I made using blue and lime green Distress Oxide Ink pads and an impression plate with various designs on it, applied to a Gelli Plate.  The snowman was stamped with black ink onto white card stock and the scarf, buttons, and arms were colored with Copic Sketch markers.  I fussy cut him out and affixed him to the card front as shown.  The sentiment was stamped with blue ink onto a white strip and cut into sections, affixed in the upper left corner with foam tape for some dimension.

I love the non-traditional colors of this holiday card, and we are excited to see what fun creations you have up your sleeve for our "Christmas In July" challenge.  Be sure to enter your creations her for a chance to win some free stamps.
