Paper Sweeties February Inspiration Challenge

Hello everybody!!!

Welcome to a BRAND NEW

Inspiration Challenge here at

PAPER SWEETIES!

I was inspired by the pretty colors and the snowman!

I began by stamping the snowman from the Holly Days stamp set onto some watercolor paper with Versamark ink. I then heat embossed the snowman with white embossing powder. I chose Seedless Preserves, Victoria Velvet and Hickory Smoke Distress Inks to watercolor the snowman. He was then die cut with the matching Sweet Cut.

Next, I stamped the snowflakes from the Holly Days stamp set onto watercolor paper. The snowflakes were  heat embossed with white embossing powder. I used the same colors of Distress Inks to watercolor over the embossed snowflakes. As you can see, the embossed areas resisted the watercolor.

The final touches were some silver thread gathered behind the snowman, and some pretty sequins from the Paper Sweeties Shoppe!

I hope I have inspired you to come play with us this month!!!!
