Okay, on to my card. I am using stamps from the January 2011 Unity Kit of the Month. This card uses the adorable tall snowman. I started with a white card base, that is distressed with Old Paper Distress Ink. Next I distressed a die cut made with my Lil Inkers stitched diagonal die. There are two open circles that were created with the SB classic circle dies. A layer of inked kraft , and then my sweet snowman, colored with Copics, and cut out with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle die. I tied it up with a twine bow.
Card two is a black base and hand cut banners made with a Darice snowflake embossing folder and inked with soft sky ink. Again, my chubby little snowman from the same kit is also colored with Copic markers. I added sparkly highlights to his apparel, and gems to random snowflakes. My sentiment is from Unity, but was in a grab bag so I am unsure of the set name.
It is a rainy, dreary day here in PA, so please forgive the lighting on my photos.

So cute I love it
Dang! These snowman are awesome! 2011 wow I'm a new STOM subscriber, I imagine they'll be taking over the house soon enough! Gorgeous Mary Anne!
Two winners in my book. I love the sponging on your first card giving it that vintage flair. The banners on you second card with those dainty snowflakes make a fantastic backdrop for that cute chubby snowman. I love snowmen of any size and shape so these two won my heart. Have a great day.
So So pretty Love them both!!! Here from the unity hop
I know y'all get tired of all the snow up that way, but there's just something about a snowman that makes the heart happy! Both of these are so cute and I love the designs you used on them. Fantastic cards!!!
