Teamwork

Hi everyone.  I started my card with a NBUS stamp that I bought not long ago.  This is called Teamwork (by Anita Jerum from Colorado Craft).  I  just love this fun scene of everyone working together to get these snowmen made.  Adorable!

I stamped in black ink and heat embossed with clear before adding soft sponging for the sky and watercolouring the image with my Zig markers.  I used the same stamp set for the sentiment that is stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in red.  To finish, I used my white Posca pen to add stripes and dots details to the scarfs and hats and then splattered with diluted white acrylic paint for the falling snow.

Close-up ...

I'm sending this to April Rudolph Days Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes.  I try to play along each month to keep my stash building throughout the year.

And I'm also sending this to NBUS Challenge #37.  First time using this stamp set!
