LIL PATCH OF CRAFTY FRIENDS #188 -- SPONSORED BY STREAMSIDE STUDIOS -- AUGUST 21, 2022

 Hello friends, and welcome back to my blog!  It's the 3rd Sunday of the month, and that means it's time for another Anything Goes challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, hosted by Team B!  This time we are being sponsored by a new company:

**Sponsor**

Streamside Studios


Prize: 3 digi stamps/sets up to a $15 value (!)


I chose this adorable set called Merry Little Christmas and used the adorable little snowman (of course! 😁), along with this sweet sentiment.

I am basing my card design on this one from Freshly Made Sketches
Unfortunately, this one is now over, but I had really fallen in love with it for my card design!  I tweaked it a little bit by adding the MFT Fine Finish Edge die cut along the right side of the strip in the sketch and adding the sentiment on an oval with a scalloped oval behind it.  The purple cardstock for the edge die and the scalloped oval die were cut from scraps of white cardstock and inked direct-to-paper with the Wilted Violet oxide ink pad.  The holographic snowflake strip was a scrap from the Northern Lights Recollections 12x12 paper pad.  In keeping with the purple color scheme I had going, I colored the snowman with BV000, BV00, and BV01 Copic markers, along with a colorless blender for softening in the centers.  I colored the rest of the image in Cool grays, with just a bit of BV02 for the berry on his hat.  I like that this guy is a bit quirky but still cute, and I love the swirliness of the lettering in the sentiment!
