Snowman Taking Photos




Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez runs a Progressive Freebie Challenge over on her Facebook group. You can use any image by Patricia to enter and then if you submit a card you can get a free image the month afterwards

My entry for this months challenge using one of the fab images from Patricia's store 'Snowman Taking Photos'. This will be the Christmas card for my hubby who is a keen photographer. I fell in love with the image when I first saw it.


I used Promarkers to colours the image along with a silver gel pen and a Spectrum Noir clear glitter overlay. I find the glitter is very subtle from this and very hard to show on photos. Snowdrifts were created with lots of Stickles glitter glue.

The patterned paper is from a 6" Craft Sensations pad. You get 10 patterned papers and 3 of each design. One of them has glitter and the other 2 are plain. Of course I had to use the glitter one didn't I? Any excuse to add glitter LOL

The silver paper is a wallpaper from B & M. I often look at wallpapers with an eye on using them in projects. They are a substantial weight of paper and at the moment there are so many fabulous glittery and textured papers about. A trip to B & Q can be a great source of inspiration.

To finish I added some enamel dots to the buttons on the large snowman and some smaller ones on the eyes. The sentiment I have added from a DCWV winter themed drawer set I had from QVC goodness know how many years ago. It seemed perfect for the photographer to say 'Merry Christmas' instead of 'say cheese' as he was taking the photo of the little ones ☺

    Hi Mandy. Thanks for your comments on my blog with regard to the Linky 2.0. Yes, It is only Linky 2.0 that seems to be affected. I don't know how to do what you suggest. I went into Adobe photoshop and changed the size of the photo by 50% and it seems to have worked. Cheers, CarolG
