Although I still love the concept of free falling heads

:)
...I wanted to simplify it to one snowman face with mittens.  
I based my new card off of this sketch~

I also switched the colors and gold embossed~

You're So Tweet Color Challenge




Inking up Winnie & Walter stamps for a color challenge and adding Nuvo drops as accents.

(FYI: I get the Nuvo wave now....it's my first time using them!!!)


stamps: Winnie & Walter So Tweet/True  dies: Avery Elle Wonky Stitches  other: Nuvo Drops Sugared Almond










I flipped the faceted circle from True to get the solid spheres.



It's a first for me inking up this sweet bird~SO much fun coloring his hair.

He's like the Justin Beebs of his flock~back in the swishy hair days.

You know I have three girlies, right?

They are practically grown but they love their J. Beebs.

I couldn't resist. ;)

Thanks for stopping by today friends!

They are similar to balloons...but zero strings to contend with~
