I'm onto my third Totally Lovin' Christmas modification...a cute little present snowman. This one was a bit too plain for me, and the Soft Sea Foam green didn't do much for me with the blue. I put my re-designing thinking cap on, and my soft green became a pinked white glitter paper center panel, my little snowman got a lot of fussy-cutting, and he changed his hat color too. I decided he needed a navy cardbase with a silver foil mat layer between the Seaside Spray front panel, which surely need a bit of snowflake embossing to bring out some lovely texture. My sentiment needed a pick-me up with a navy matting to coordinate with the new cardbase color.
I kept the layout with modifications, added new papers, dry emboss texturing, some glitter, foil, and a popped up fussy-cut snowman...it's done, and I am pleased. This card surely must go to my snowman-loving friend!
Meanwhile, when I saw the "square" snowman, I was thinking about a Splitcoaststamper challenge I was sure I'd seen requiring using things with squares. My geometric snowman would surely fit! Take a peek at the finished card below, both inside and out.
