And Another Challenge Before Me!

My dear, dear upline Sue (*winks*) challenged me to make a Boho Christmas card. So here it is Sue. I hope I didn't disappoint you! It just seemed wrong to color a snowman anything but traditional colors.

I did get to play with my corner punch. I REALLY like it!!! Actually I used several fun punches here. The snowman is from the "Jolliest Time of Year" set. I am REALLY liking that snowman. Wait till you see what I do with him next week!!!! Can't even give you a hint, sorry!!

I also used the clear brads that came with the "Pretties Kit." I cut the prongs off on the back so they would lay better and I affixed them with Crystal Effects.

On the decorative paper I stamped in Blue Bayou using the Linen Background set. It toned it down just enough.

The colors of card stock I used here is Blue Bayou, Really Rust and Chocolate Chip. The snowman was stamped on watercolor paper and colored in using a blender pen and markers. Edges were sponged using Blue Bayou.

Thank you for stopping by,
Wanda

Oh I love this card! I didn't know there were clear brads, where have I been? I love the bids you've received on your candy. Each time I thought I had a favorite, I found another. What fun!
