Winter Skating

Happy Friday!
I hope your week has gone well! Brrr...it's cold here! We had a cold front overnight & the bottom dropped out. The temp never made it out of the 30's all day & w/ the stiff wind, it made it feel even colder. So I think this ice skating snowman is right in line w/ the cold weather. 

In a weird twist of fate, this card turned out almost exactly like the picture I had in my head.  What's up w/ that? It almost never happens that way. Am I right? Anyway, I stamped the winter words w/ a lt blue ink, then stamped the snowflakes in a shade darker blue. Still light, but you can see the difference. Then I put it into my Misti & stamped the silhouette snowman several times w/ the denim ink. The umbrella was also stamped w/ the denim & I used B39 & N7 Copics to turn it into a silhouette. The greeting was die cut out of very dk navy using a couple of different die sets. 
And here's the inside. I decided to make the front a little smaller so I could add a narrow navy layer so I used the part I cut off as a frame for the inside.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!


Supplies:
paper: Staples 110# white, dk navy
ink:  Adirondack denim, Rubbernecker Stamps Color Fuse ink set #7

You are always so creative Julie! Your snowman with the umbrella is brilliant! Love how your bg makes everything come together so perfectly! When I saw the thumbnail I thought you used a die cut silhouette at first that is how perfectly your stamped your silhouette snowman!! Love it!

Julie this silhouette snowman looks like he is having a great time in the snow with his umbrella. I have to wonder if having the umbrella helps him keep the weight off. Ok just kidding but that is how my brain works. LOL! Seriously this is just too adorable!

This is soooo charming! The snowflakes on top of the winter words make for a lovely winter-y background and the addition of the umbrella, puts this over the top! Love!
