I made this cute monochromatic winter card for this week’s sketch challenge using the Snowman Season Stamp Set and Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper.
Here’s the sketch I used from this week’s Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. I love doing these challenges, it really stretches my creativity.
The stamp set is an older one, from the Annual Catalog. It has such fun images and I’ve used it quite a bit over the last couple of years. There’s a coordinating punch that punches out the snowman, hat, nose and arms.
The Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper is absolutely gorgeous! It’s one of my favorite papers in the Mini Catalog. Some of the papers have silver accents like the snowflakes on the sheet I used for this card.
