Time Out #52 and Muse: Christmas Visions #37

The sun is shining, oh happy day!  If often sing this song when the weather breaks and it's beautiful out.  So why am I on the computer?  Because I have two cards to show you.
This one is for Time Out using my new SSS Roses for You and inspired by this card by Marjan for the 'CASE with your own twist' challenge.
I used a TH stencil with Peeled Paint DI on Linen cardstock.  I told you I'd use it, Anita ;).  I stamped the flowers and did a loose watercolor with Altenew and Distress inks.  The sentiment is from CF. The wonderful Kim of Cupcakes, Cards and Kim celebrated a 'big' birthday recently and  Kylie has a link up at her blog, Kylie's Addicted to Stamps for us to send our birthday wishes.  This card will be going there.

Here is my card for Muse: Christmas Visions
based on this card by Emily Leiphart.
I used my PTI jar stamps and dies, coloring the snowman's clothing with DI and adding some white enamel accents to cover the stamped snow dots.  I'm not sure that was the best thing to do but it looks good from a certain angle.

Here's hoping you have a happy day.

What an adorable snowman, Bobby ... love how he's 'settling' into that jar! Gorgeous blooms ... such a lovely drift of delicious whimsical roses ... love how you grounded them with that delicate dotty stencilling! Thanks so much for the shoutout, my friend ... delighted, as ever, to have you playing along with us at Time Out! Hugs, Anita :)
