Penny Black - Hug a Snowman

Hi everyone.  Today I'm sharing cards made from another of the new Penny Black release, Hello Winter 2021.  This stamp set (Hug a Snowman  30-887) includes the family image above, along with two other adorable snowman (one with a bunny), and two sentiments.  This set can be used for lots of different occasions such as winter birthday or celebration, as well as for Christmas.

Stamped the family of snowpeople in archival black ink onto mixed media paper.  Used sponge brushes to add Salvaged Patina and Wilted Violet distress inks to the top ... these colours are so pretty together!  Used the same two colours to watercolour the scarves, hats and gift as well.  Finished by first splattering with water, got a little carried away with some very big drops :) ... and then splattering with diluted white acrylic paint to finish off this snow storm.  Added a few details with a white pen and some red chalk before popping up the panel with foam onto my card base and adding a stamped sentiment (from the same set).

Close-up ...
This makes me smile! :)

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
