Red & Gold or Cozy & Rustic? Snowman Style Times Two

 

Let It Snow… Twice! Two Challenge Cards Featuring the SweetMissDaisy Snowman

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Today I’m sharing a pair of cozy winter cards featuring the fantastic snowman from Decorate the Tree by SweetMissDaisy Designs—and he’s dressed up two different ways for two different challenges. I had so much fun giving him a fresh personality for each scene.

 Art Nudge 1225A: Red, White & Gold Magic

For the first challenge, I dressed our happy snowman in red, white, and gold for the Art Nudge 1225A prompt. 

I started by stamping the gorgeous Decorative Snowflake Background and cutting it with a postage-stamp-style die to create a layered panel. To play up the postcard feel, I stamped a few playful postmarks using the Winter Scene stamp set. The “25” and sentiment come from Holly Branch, and they tuck perfectly into the collage.

A scattering of sparkly snowflake die cuts and sequins finishes the card with a festive, almost storybook look. It feels like a holiday postcard brought to life!

The Art Nudge Challenge is such fun.  Head over to the blog and enter your project for a chance to win!

 Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge

Next up, I’m playing along with today’s Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers, featuring Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, and Pool Party.

Pumpkin Pie takes the lead in my snowy scene, with Real Red brightening his coat and hat. Pool Party makes a soft cameo in the background — just enough to cool the palette without stealing attention.

I placed this handsome fellow on a Rustic Winter patterned background and added another flurry of die-cut snowflakes for texture and movement. All the papers and stamps are from SweetMissDaisy Designs.
