Meet Ms. Snowlady, Cappy!

My friend, Anna Wight, sent me a few of these adorable snowlady images in a card recently, so we decided to have a little blog challenge with them.  Isn't this snowlady adorable?  She's hand-drawn by the ultra-talented Anna for Whipper Snapper's next release, due out in January . . . so you'll be able to get one of your very own soon!  Her name is Cappy and she's so much fun to color.

She's stamped on shimmer white cardstock and I watercolored her with dye inks: Stampin' Up's Soft Sky, Regal Rose & Close to Cocoa.  If you know Anna's work, you know she is well-known for her signature "dirty" look and wonderful watercoloring, so that's what I was thinking of when I was making this card. 

The edges of Cappy's main image were sponged with Cocoa ink and machine stitched to a Chocolate mat.  She's mounted with dimensionals to a blue snowflake piece of BasicGrey's Figgy paper (6x6 pad), whose edges were distressed and inked.  More blue dotted chocolate paper from the Figgy line is machine stitched on the 5.25" square Soft Sky card base.

The snowflake is BasicGrey's Undressed Holiday chipboard which has adhesive on one side. I covered the adhesive with Martha Stewart's turquoise glitter . . . (yummy!) and placed a blue & brown button in the middle, tied with light blue gingham ribbon that I aged with cocoa ink.  Some Stampin' Up Bashful Blue brads (darkened with a turquoise Copic Marker, to match the snowflake & paper) finish off this card.

I can't wait to see what Anna did with her own image and what ideas she had in store for this darling snowlady when she was drawing her!  Be sure to check out Anna's card HERE.  Thanks for the challenge, Anna . . . I'll play with your adorable images again any day!

I dunno Sharon! It's a tough challenge this one between you and Anna since BOTH your cards are beautiful! But, I was kinda expecting that!!! I hope there will be more "card dueling" in the future.
