Hello friends, and Happy New Year! I sincerely hope that 2021 is going to be a way better year for everyone. To start things off on the right foot, it's Freebie Friday at Catch the Bug, and here is what I made:
This fella is called Lil Snowman, and he is this week's freebie. If you don't already have him, you can snatch him up this week! I colored him up with alcohol markers, and then blinged him up using Star Dust Stickles. I also used white gel pen to add personality. The patterned paper comes from the Whimsy Christmas 12x12 paper pad from Recollections. I really like the bright and colorful papers in this pad, so I want to use it quite a bit this year. Both patterned papers are matted with red card stock from Recollections. I used Spellbinders Square Swatches for the first time to die cut the red snowflake paper. It doesn't show up very well against the red mat...I probably should have inked the edges with some white ink before adhering the 2 together. 😐 Oh well! The sentiment comes from Sizzix/Tim Holtz Christmas Phrases set 2, and I cut it 3 times from the bright green card stock, and adhered the layers together for more presence. I added a couple of layers of Wink of Stella on the top layer. My card is a 5.5x5.5 inch square.
