Because of Valentine's Day I've been working with lots of pink lately so I kept going with it for this. I used this older (and beloved!) Cosmo Cricket paper. To keep the vintage look I used E41 and E43 on the blues of the snow and on the pink to dull it a bit.Santa Dave brought me a Janome and I've practiced on a card, but this is the first I've posted. I know it's not good, but stitching doesn't have to be perfect on a vintage look card. Does it?!
Well, I have a lot to learn, I know! Please don't look to harshly upon it.
I used the wonderful pink rose shades of R81, R83, R85 for the pinks
BG0000 and BG10 for the aqua. A dark brown for his mouth and buttons
and the E41, E43 and a little E25 for the browns. I added some stickles after I took the photos.
Thanks for looking! Come see a Magnolia card tomorrow, thought it's not yet done and I'm not sure I like it-I'll show you anyway!
Have a great Monday!
Hugs, Cheryl

Oh he's just so adorable. Love Mo's images and you've coloured him perfectly.
Congrats on your prezzie of a Janome. I have one and yet I still don't get it out to use it, so brownie points to you. Fantastic 1st go by the way!

I think your card is gorgeous!!! Very pretty coloring!
I have that Janome and all I can say is the little thing doesn't stay still very well so it gets my stitching all cattywompus. It sort of bounces around while stitching. I'm getting used to it though.

Hi Cheryl...I love this stamp from Mo's. I think it's the first time I've seen it done in pink and it turned out really cute. Keep practing with the sewing you'll get better and probably quickly!!

This card is beautiful! I love the shading and the use of different colors than expected!
This is a gorgeous card, love how you did it! Your coloring is awesome!
LOVE the pink and brown matched with that adorable snowman-thats a color combo not usually paired with a snowman-but you totally made it work-it's simply stunning!
Your card is wonderful and very cute!

I LOVE what you did with this snowman. Your coloring is amazing and the way you pulled the whole card together is awesome...great job.
Oh my gosh, what an adorable snowman! And as usual your coloring is just perfect, I love the stitching on your card too, no practice needed! 8-)

Oh Cheryl!
Your snowman is wonderful in these colours!!!! Absolutely beautiful!
I would never have thought to use them for a snowman.....
Your sewing is just find and when you are doing antique cards you don't want it to be perfect anyway.
Big hugs, Candy
I wish I could sign up for email's on your blog so I would see ALL of your work on the days it is posted.
Love Mo's stuff and I never would have thought of using the brown's on a snowman. It looks great!
