CHRISTMAS SNOWMAN-Shaped Card,with 7 Sentiment Tags and Commercial UseCompleted by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

What a cutie. A great card to send to those friends, I have, who have come from a cold Winter, and for those wishing for a cold Christmas.

The instructions and cutting lines are absolutely perfect. It made the card so easy and quick to complete.

I printed the sheet supplied twice. Once, onto white 200gsm card, and once onto good quality copy paper.

After I had cut out the main feature and the sentiment I had chosen, I chose 3 green sequins and 3 black tiny pearl finished seed beads and stitched them in place for buttons, on the front image only. I then used, 2 of the same tiny seed beads, to stitch in place for eyes. To hold these firm, I then used tiny strips of scrap white paper and dots of white glue to paste over the stitching threads on the inside. I then used white glitter glue and a tiny brush to cover the snowman only.

While it was drying, I cut out the main feature from the lighter weight copy paper.

Once the front was completely dry, I used power tape to attach the snowman exactly in place on the inside.

Such A cute card, I have decided to make some snowman ear rings.

I have included a standing snowman, however it doesn't do justice to the 3 dimensional effect of the seed beads

Thank you Clare A big Hug
