He's Back

Yup, me and Frosty still chillin.

If you haven't been here in the last 3 weeks, you probably didn't hear about Frosty and me.  I think Hubby may be getting suspicious.  

I colored him up with Copics and framed him in this beautiful Spellbinder Die, The Poinsettia spray is from Memory Box and the small Holly die is from Marianne Dies. This time I chose to enter him in Power Poppy's challenge Power Poppy Challenge - Time to Rewind - Bits & Pieces.

This is for Linda S
Linda S. commented on the Frosty I colored on Kraft paper.  I couldn't follow a link back to a blog, so I hope she stops back. Linda wanted to know if I had any tips on coloring on Kraft paper.  

The paper was some cheap Kraft paper that I bought long ago and it was not very smooth. I used Prisma Scholar pencils.  I have a few Derwent and I think I almost like them better, but only have a few. In large areas I color lightly holding the pencil at an angle and build up the color. In a smaller area like the snow on his harms, I hold the pencil a less of an angle and use more pressure. Frosty was colored with cream an the snow on the arms is done with white. 

Linda also wanted to know why I switched to Tombow makers on the die cuts. I tried the pencils, but didn't like the way they looked with the embossed edges.

I hope this answers everything.  If not, my email address is listed in "About Me".

Merry Christmas!
