Snow in the Southwest

Hello.  Welcome.  It's July and it seems Christmas is breaking out all over.  At the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity and the new challenge theme is also Christmas in July!!!   Hop on board and get a jump on the silly season.   Here's Carmen's Veranda Snow Cowboy in a Southwest Town with just a little bit of snow. 


Squeeeee!  You better watch out!!  Snow Sheriff is in town.  I recently got some new archival inks colours so I thought I'd do some multicolour stamping


Hmmmm!  OK, so on my cream card I stamped Snow Cowboy with Sky Blue archival and masked.  Then I stamped Southwest Town with Orange Blossom archival and masked it.  Then I stamped Lost Coast Designs Peace Dictionary Words three times with the Sky Blue ink.


After removing all those masks I folded the card base and cut it with a stitch die.  I used a cotton bud to smudge some more Orange Blossom ink on the buildings and also over the words.  I added some gel pen colours to the Sheriff and then decided he needed some rhinestones.  I added clear ones to his eyes, hat and scarf and some yellow ones to his star.  


I used an embossing pen and added some Wow white puff powder to the ground and the buildings.  Doesn't he look happy to see the snow!!

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
