It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas...

Hi All! And a Very happy Monday to you! Hope you all had a Wonderful weekend. Ours was very nice, filled with friends and family and Tons of Yummy food.. lol 8-) In fact, as I sit here typing up my post, I am thoroughly stuffed, from our dinner of Thanksgiving left overs.. lol. Well, Today I'm back with another Fabulous Stamps R Us Challenge. Yay! 8-)  Today our Theme is "Embossing". Our Wonderful Sponsor is Sketching Stamper Digi Stamps. And let me tell you, Their images are just Darling so please do stop by and check them out.  Also, Chris has put together a very generous prize package for one lucky winner, so I sure hope you can play along with us.  And please stop by the Stamps R Us Blog to take a peek at the Fabulous creations the rest of the Wonderfully Talented Design Team has in store for you! 8-)

I printed out my Sweet Snowy Fellow onto Flourishes Classic White and colored him up with my trusty Copics and cut him out & matted him up with the help of my Classic Ovals and Lacy Ovals Nesties sets. I used my Gold Spica glitter pen to color his bell and the cute little star on his Christmas tree. I shaded my image with a touch of Antique Linen Distress Ink while my die was still in place and then popped it up with a few dimensionals. My BG panels were created with he help of my CB and my snowflake EF, a sanding block and the combination of black CS from my stash and dp's from Simple Stories 25 Days of Christmas set. To finish it all up, I wove a bit of seam binding ribbon from my stash through my Lacy Oval die cut, and added a Pretty vintage Button all tied up with some Yummy Bakers twine both from MAD Stamper Finds..8-)

Hope you all have a Fantastic Day! & Thanks so much for dropping by! 
Thanks for stopping by!

  15. Cute, cute card, Shannon. I am always amazed by how well you use your Copics--especially when you are coloring with reds. Spectacular! Your snowman is gorgeous all by himself, but you went and surrounded him with all that fab dp and die cuts and really jazzed him up. Love it! ~Hugs, Cheryl
