For The Birds Snowman - D2D Challenge - January 28, 2011

Thanks once again to Delightful Inspirations progressive weekly challenge for the cute digi stamp 

that can be found at the Designed 2 Delight online store.

Wow what a day.  Woke up at 4:00 am this morning to the Arctic Blast from Canada.  We have been on a down hill slide since last night temp wise.  At midnight it was 32 degrees and it is now 19 degrees with a wind chill of -1. For Texas that is just too cold.  Last time this happened was in 1996.  I want our winters back - only about 2 weeks of winter weather for the whole season.  We started with thunderstorms at midnight that changed to freezing rain then to sleet and finished off with snow by 8:00am.  So I got a "snow day" from work and decided I'd get may card done early this week instead of rushing on Thursday night to get it posted.

I wanted to make my card to used for either a winter card or Valentine card.  I think I did a good job meeting both cards.  

I used my Copic markers and Copic Red Glitter pen to color my snowman.  I had colored one in yellows but changed my mind and went with blues.  The snow at the bottom of the snowman is from a Snow Marker.  The falling snow is Frosted Stickles.  The papers are from stock on the shelf.  I used Ranger Distressed Broken China Stickles as a border around the snowman.  The yellow rainbow wave sticker is from a Stickabilities sticker sheet.  The sentiment is from K&Company Valentine Embossed sticker.
