You Make Me Smile

LOL!  Don't ya just love it?  I think that this Framed Disturbed Snowman image (#275) from Dilly Beans was just screaming to be paired up with the "you make me smile all over my face" stamp from the Whimsical Fun set by Whimsical Designs.  In addition to the Whimsical Fun set, Stephanie has 3 other sets that are also available.  Really, really cute stuff!  You can see all four sets HERE.  P.S.... FREE SHIPPING!   I'm not quite sure if that's a smile on Disturbed Snowman's face, but it sure is ALL OVER his face!  hahahahah!  I crack myself up!  I goofed when printing out the digi snowman image and he printed on a full 8.5 x 11 sheet, so I'm going to give that one to my granddaughter to color when she comes over on Christmas Eve.  She's 7 yrs. old but I think she can handle it.  In fact, that gives me an idea!  I think I' will print out a whole bunch of images from Dilly Beans and make coloring books for all of the grandkids.  Something to keep them busy until it's time to tear open all the presents.  I resized and reprinted the image at approximately 3.5 x 2.5.  

Pretty simple card here.  I colored the image with my Prisma markers.  I think the bolder colors of my Prismas would work well with this guy and besides, the markers haven't been touched in months.  The little dots on the background were made with two itsy bitsy clear stamps from a Technique Tuesday princess set.  I used Distressed in for that....shabby shutters and tattered rose.  I cut it out using a deckled edge Nestie.  I tore a piece of paper from the Core'dinations Vintage Collection stack and embossed it with the Cuttlebug tiny bubbles folder and then sanded using a Tim Holtz sander.  The image hides most of the fabulous texture and I'm wishing I had printed this frazzled guy just a little bit smaller.  Oh well, next time.  The other 2 background papers are from the ProvoCraft Holiday Slab V, which I've had forever.  I really need to start using up some of my older papers.  The tag is a Spellbinders Shapeabilities die from the Ribbon Tag Trio Two set.  I inked up the corners using the Distress tattered rose and then stamped the sentiment.  I  added some sparkle embossing powder by Recollections to the stamped sentiment. And the powder also took a liking to the distress ink in the corners and so it all turned out pretty cool after applying the heat gun. I added some Pebbles ribbon to the tag and secured it using the Tim Holtz tiny attacher.  I used a fat glue dot to secure the tag to the card and I cut some craft foam to layer between the image and the card front.  

And there it is, another quick and easy card!
