Welcome to our From the Heart Stamps February blog hop. It seems like forever since we did a hop – this is the first hop of the year and it is going to be SNOW MUCH FUN!!If you have arrived from KELLY’S BLOG, you are in the right place, if not why don’t you start on the From the Heart Stamps Blog, so you don’t miss anything.
Today’s theme is Project 100 Snowmen. Our awesome FTHS artist and owner is taking a challenge of her own and that is to create 100 snowmen by March – she has created so many adorable snowmen already it was hard to chose one! I think you are going to love the fantastic inspiration the designers have for you so let’s get started!!
As always, one random winner will be picked from each blog to win an image of their choice from the FTHS store.
My card today uses Flurry – this is the newest digi in the FTHS store. I decided to make it a simple card and use one of my very favorite embossing folders to create a window type card – After I colored it, I didn’t think the plain green scarf and white background was enough color, so I added turquoise strips to the side of the mounted, embossed piece and then went back a colored in some turquoise polka dots on my scarf which I also outlined with a white gel pen. You can’t see it in the picture but the heart and snowflakes in my image got a good coat of Wink of Stella and are shimmery – Love!
