Ai Reason for the Season Feature – Chubby Snowmen

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Today I am sharing my snuggly creations for the Art Impressions Reasons for the Season Challenge. For more details on this challenge check out the announcement here. My projects feature the Chubby Snowmen stamp set where they are showcasing one of my favorite Reasons for the Season: warm family hugs! Keeping reading below for more details on how I made these winter wonderland creations. These projects are featured on the Art Impressions blog today, check it out here!

For this card I wanted to create a super simple snowy scene. First, I matted snowflake themed paper from the Crystal Blues paper pad to create a snowy background. Next, I die cut a stitched hillside from plain white cardstock to create the snow covered ground. I added shadows to the snow with my Copic Sketch markers. The colors I used to color the snowman and his tree are listed below.

For my second card I used a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of plaid cardstock for the background that coordinated with the clothes on the snowman and bird. I matted the plaid cardstock with solid black cardstock and glue them to the card base. I used the Banner Double Stitched dies to cut the sentiment banner. I also cut a piece of vellum with the Square Double Stitched dies to mute the busy background behind the snowman image. The Copic colors I used to color the image are listed below.
