Winter Silhouette Card

The silhouette image is from A Child's Year cartridge.  I embossed the background with a snowflake folder and added three different sized punched snowflakes using blue mica paper.  The bottom border was done with a Martha Stewart punch.

I decided it was too plain and added a red bird.  What do you think?  With or without the bird?

 

Snowman Card

I saw this snowman on Danita Kinney's blog.  She had cut him out of vinyl for a charger plate.  I thought he was cute but needed a little tweaking for the idea I had in mind.

The original image came from Deb's Oodles of Doodles blog.  It was a coloring page.  The snowman is surrounded by eleven falling snowflakes, which I did not want to use.  Shirley, aka Okieladybug, explained to me how I could delete the snowflake images and leave just the snowman image using my Paint program.

I printed the snowman twice and cut out the mittens, feet and hat to pop dot them.  They're colored with Promarkers.  The snowflakes were punched into the card front to let the blue card base paper show through.  I added some pen stitching around the outer edge of the card.
