Snowmen Frosty Hugs with Polkadoodles

 

Hello everyone!  Hope everyone is settling into the new year.  Today I'm
sharing how I made this adorable snow couple card using products from


This image is so adorable!  It would make a great anniversary card!  Let
me show you how I made this project.
I first composed and printed out my images onto white card stock.


Time to start coloring - my favorite part! 😉. There really wasn't a lot
of coloring on this image.  But before I started to color, I chose my background
paper so I could color match.


The main color of the image would be pink, so I wanted to make sure
that it matched.


I started with that main color and used it for the hat, mittens,
scarves and the tiny heart above the birds, which I ended up
not using.


I used a blue to shade the snow couple and used the same on the birds.


Images are all colored!  Copic colors used:  YR15, YR04, YR07, YR00,
R81, R83, R85, R37, B0000, B000, B00, B02, W2, W3, W5, C1, C3, C5, C7.
I decided the background needed a bit of texture so I used a 3D embossing
folder from my stash.


I didn't color the band or pom poms on the hat as I wanted it
to be glittery.  I used some Stickles to achieve this.


I fussy cut the images and then went around the edges with a black
marker so it would have a more finished look.


I found a die in my stash to sit the birds on and I used white glitter paper
for that.  I also used it for a border snowflake die that I snipped the tails
off and adhered the snowflake part to the bottom of the snow couple.  I
adhered all of the elements on and then added the tails of the snow that
I had snipped off.  As a final touch I added tiny pink gems around the
hearts in the background for some added sparkle!


This little digital stamp set is so cute!  I could have gone with any color 
palette, but I've been really looking at the pink snow cards on social
media, wondering if I could do that!  You can find this digital stamp
set and so many more at


Til next time...
