I know, I know...you can say it..."she's totally stuck on this Snowman for Peace and that Wassail paper." ...and you'd be correct! Hehe!The layout is Beate's Weekend Sketch 65. I saw Anna Wight and Paula Williamson made some cards where they stamped onto Kraft CS and colored in the image with white, and I've been wanting to try it ever since. I totally need practice on this. For some reason the gamsol works differently with a white pencil...or maybe with Kraft CS...or maybe it's just me, LOL! Anyway, I'll keep practicing. Here's one of Anna's cards and one of Paula's so you can see. Aren't they cool?!
The inside of the card has more of the red Wassail DP matted with black. I stamped the present from the Snowman for Peace cling set onto a scrap piece of the red Wassail DP, cut it out, and glued it down in the lower left-hand corner.
I got the burgundy velvet ribbon, gold string and Wassail DP at Stamper's Dream.RECIPE ~

I totally know what it is like to be "stuck" on one stamp...I mean really, it's not like the stamp is going anywhere, right? But sometimes you just can't get enough! Anyhoo, LOVE your card and your coloring is awesome, doesn't look like you had a problem to me...but then you make all your cards look effortless!
I can totally understand why you're stuck on it...it's gorgeous! Love that velvet ribbon too!! I think your white pencil looks marvelous darling!!
hugs, Jami
I understand your wanting to use this adorable stamp over and over again! He's too cute! The dsp is over-the-top gorgeous and I love what you've done with it! I'll have to try that white-on-kraft technique one of these days too - it looks great!
Well, I for one, am so glad you did not resist the wassail DP or the Snowman for Peace set. I adore your subtle use of the gunmetal Stickles. Fabulous card!
So sweet, Denise! Love the white snowman on kraft....gonna have to try that!
Ooooooo....do I love that ribbon!! The whole card is fantastic, & it's so funny you stamped onto Kraft because that is on my to-do list ever since *I* saw Anna's card, lol!! I tried it once & it didn't look so good, but I do want to try it again. I'll keep yours on my screen for inspiration :)

What an adorable card Denise, I love this sketch! And hey, don't worry about the stamp, oh my goodness, look at all the projects I've done with that wildflowers stamp I have, lots of mileage on that one . . . LOL!
LOL at being stuck on a stamp...we all do that!

Just catching up this morning, as I had a migraine yesterday and didn't move much, had a hard time watching the race even :(
Totally awesome card - I love snowmen!!! This one is sooo cute too - no wonder you're stuck on him - LOL!!!!
Great take on the Sketch - Denise!!!
Oh he's fantastic! I love stamping on kraft! This is one adorable snowman and paired with that paper, oooh yeah!
I think your coloring is FABULOUS!!! I wouldn't have thought to use colored pencils to color the snowman on craft. I usually use white craft ink and a blender pen! Gonna have to try this, thanks!!! :)
