Sparkes Christmas #182 - Thinking of you

March 1, 2026

Hello

We have a new challenge over at 


Theme: Snowman (or any snow person/gender)


I had fun creating this card. I had a star die from Simon says and I cut it out and then took a circle and die cut to size to work with the wreath. I wanted the stars behind to stand out so I took a watercolored piece that was left over from a project and smeared Wink of stella over it and die cut and added behind the start piece.. Oh I used Ranger ink and blended the sky then added the star piece to the watercolor piece.
I die cut the Simon says wreath out of a scrap and then used Paper trey ink holly dies and die cut a bunch in white. Then used Ranger to color.. Added them around wreath. I colored the cardinal with Ranger and added it. The snowperson is Gerda Steiner and I colored with copics and fussy cut out and added to the wreath.. 
I didn't want a plain background so I used a Sizzix embossing folder and the birch tree.  I had these sentiments from Stampin up already done so I grabbed one I thought was good as the snowperson looks like it's looking at the bird.. 
I am pleased with how it came out.
