Yeah! Christmas in July. I love to make Christmas cards and I love Snowmen! I chose 23801 Snowman Christmas Tree. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the snowman and didn't use the tree. Maybe next time.
The hat, mittens and scarf were cut separately, colored with Copics and embossed with a Stampin Up embossing folder. I am little disappointed with how the green photoed. For his body I did just a little shading with Copic C3. I used an old paint bush to stippled Copic White Opaque for some added texture. The black and white paper is from The Paper Studio and the die is Memory Box. I used some gold wrapping paper to frame it all out.

He is the cutest snowman ever! LOVE his scarf, hat & mittens with their embossed texture. Makes them look like the real thing! Gorgeous frame too!
Super card Gail. Love the die cut frame.
Oh, Gail, I LOVE Christmas in July, and what an adorable snowman!! I love how you've colored him and also how you've embossed his hat, scarf, and mittens - you are so clever! And what a great frame for him! Totally in love with this guy, and I think it's a fabulous card! (And what's wrong with the green?) Love, love, love it, my friend! Totally rocks! Big hugs, and have a wonderful Fourth of July!
This is so amazing, Gail! I'm just blown away by your idea of embossing the knitted parts. I'm not sure what's wrong with the green. It looks good and green to me. Love the frame and your stippled snowiness. Gosh, he looks cute with or without the tree!
This is adorable! I love him! I'm thrilled to be joining you at QKR for a little while!
