It's time for a mid month reminder over at We Love Stamping where the theme is:
** Christmas**
Everyone is making Christmas cards at the moment so there is no excuse not to join us.
I think this little snowman stamp is one of the first stamps I ever bought, so it is a bit of a shame that I haven't used him much. He is designed to be doodled on, so I stamped him in black and took a black fineliner and doodles. His hat, scarf and buttons are coloured with gelly roll sparkle pens and the background is done with alcohol markers.
I diecut the image, found some glitter effect card (a recent find in Hobbycraft), diecut that and added some shiny foiled washi tape to add a bit of extra interest. This was mounted on a piece of black linen effect card and then onto a white cardbase. The sentiment is from Uniko.
What a happy looking snowman he is.
I hope I have inspired you to join us this month, all you have to do is follow the prompt and ensure stamping is the main focus on your card. I am also happy to say that there are some fabulous prizes prizes to be won. The challenge will close on the 1st December.
Supplies:
Cardstock: White 300gsm card; Glitter effect card
Ink: versafine, onyx black; Fine liner pen; Gelly Roll sparkle pens
Stamps: Leane Creativ doodle stamps
Dies: Claina Palmer double stitched A6 nesting dies
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Well done on putting this lovely stamp at work, Hilary! It's so cute and also fun with your beautiful doodling! I have never thought to doodle a snowman, it's a clever idea!Beautiful glittered details and that washi tape is perfect to catch the eyes on the snowman! Lovely card!
What a lovely snowman and that doodling makes him so original. Vee xx
Aww, what a darling snowman themed card. Love the inclusion of glitter here. It really channels a sense of snow itself glistening in the cool light of late autumn and winter. A sight that is filling our days here presently, as snow comes tumbling down by the ton.

It's a lovely snowman stamp. The doodling in it, is a very nice detail.
I recognize your shame of not using some (or many) stamps. We collect so much. So I think we are more collectors than crafters, whahaha...
The snowman is cute, and your doodling is artful - what a great way to have fun and show it off in the card as well! Great card, Hilary!
That's a fab and different snowman, very cute! Card is lovely and cool;-))m
Awesome card Hilary! I LOVE your Zentangled designed snowman. He is super cute and what a fun way to add design with your black marker. xx
Oh, he's so cute, Hilary! I love the doodling and you did a great job on that. Love the oldie stamps. Your card is very festive and fun!
