CASology #230: COLD

Hello, friends!  Welcome back as the new year begins with a new cue at CASology!  I'm so excited that I am beginning my sixth year as a Design Team member for CASology...I started back in January, 2012!  I can't believe how fast the time has flown.

As the new year begins, we bid farewell to two of the original CASology design team members, Ardyth and Tracey.  Best wishes to you both as you continue on in your crafty endeavors!  We also welcome two new design team members, Janet and Rachel. Welcome to the team, ladies! We are so excited to have you join the team!  

I know some parts of the world are warm and sunny right now, but where I live on the east coast of the United States, it is COLD!


This week we are sponsored by Rubber Dance Stamps and I was lucky enough to receive some stamps to play with for this challenge!  I used stamps from the "Frosty Friends" and "Winter Wonderland" sets. I love the vintage feel of this snowman image!


I colored in the snowman with pastel colored pencils, and added some ultra fine glitter to the sentiment as well as the snow.  The soft pink and blue sky was sponged on with distress inks after masking the embossed frame border.  It gives the card dimension while it remains only one layer!

Be sure to link up your COLD card by noon on Monday (Central time).  Be sure to visit the Design Team members, say hello to our newest members Janet and Rachel, and visit our Guest Designer for lots of inspiration!

Happy New Year, and thanks for visiting!
