The snowman

Time for a new coloring challenge over at Colour Crazy. This time our sponsor is Fred She Said and I got to work with the Hat Tipping Snowman. I thought he looked so happy and polite.


This card is made in a more traditional fashion. I printed the image out onto Daler-Rowney Drawing paper and colored him with my Prismacolor colored pencils. Once done, I cut him out with a stitched hexagon die from my stash. I adhered a piece of Christmas patterned paper onto a white cardbase, allowing a sliver of the white to show all the way round. I then added the snowman to the bottom left-hand corner.


No Christmas card is completed without a bit of sparkle on it and so I cut the sentiment from red glitter cardstock with Tim Holtz dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card.


The Colour Crazy Challenge is an Anything Goes challenge as long as you have colored something on your project by hand. You may use any non-digital medium to color with. We look forward to seeing what projects you share with us.
