Welcome to Week 2 of the newest challenge at DoubleClick Skittles!
Challenge #37 - Use a Snowman
Dec. 9 - Dec. 22
For this project, I'm using the new Holiday Traditions bubble embellishments. You can purchase both of the new releases, Holiday Traditions and Frosty Kisses, right here:
I like to upcycle, particularly since I seem to hold on to EVERYTHING! So, I grabbed this medium size kraft bag that I had received in a craft order awhile back and embossed with my Cuttlebug and Tim Holtz Merry Christmas embossing folder. I inked the raised sentiment with my Hero Arts Green ombre ink, then used a sponge dabber for white chalk ink snowballs.
This cute snowman is a sticker from K&Company and I adhered it to white cardstock and fussy cut it, so I could pop it out with foam squares and it would hold it's shape better. I placed my Rudolph Red Skittles bubble embellishment on old Frosty's scarf.
I added an olive green faux burlap ribbon border using my May Arts Ribbon, then added a strip of DCWV cardstock which coordinated nicely with my Holiday Traditions Skittles. Did you know that all the new newest Skittles have sparkle? Yup. They're kind of awesome, that way. I usually use clear glue to adhere my Skittles but you can always use adhesive dots as well. Sometimes, I add a touch of Stickles glitter glue with my drop of clear glue, for that extra wow factor.
