Reminder - Christmas Kickstart Challenge

Hi everyone.  I'm back as Guest Designer with a reminder of Christmas Kickstart Challenge # 103 - Snow Alert!  There's still lots of time to play along, we'd love for you to join us.

Today I'm using a new-to-me die.  It was so fun to make this Snowman Chain (similar to paper doll chains we used to make when I was a little girl). :)  So easy having a die that does all the cutting out! :)

I die-cut the base of the four snowman chain and all the accessories from white card stock.  Then I used Distress inks to sponge some of the accessories.

To finish, I added some red chalk for cheeks, highlights with a white pen, and stamped the sentiment in black ink.

Close-up ...
The challenges are open for another few weeks, so I hope you'll join us at Christmas Kickstart with your "Snow-inspired" card.  And if you are using something new for the first time, please join in at NBUS Challenge #79 as well.

Thanks for stopping by!

  13. I wasn't thinking paper doll chains but paper dolls did enter my mind when I saw your cuties all dolled up in their winter finery, Loll. I bet it was fun deciding what they would wear and dressing them up.
