Time for another Friday Mashup. This week is an inspiration challenge, SNOWMEN!
A Cute Christmas stamp set reminds me of the classic Burl Ives Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer cartoon, especially using it for an outdoor scene.
I've done the window scene a few times, but I always feel something is missing. So I thought I would give curtains a try, especially since we have coordinating fabric. Love that! I also stained a wooden skewer with Chocolate Chip ink to coordinate. Wow, it is really hard to get a decent, in-focus photograph of this card! ETA: This card was picked as one of the favorites for week ending 11/21/10 over at Splitcoaststampers - Thanks!!Fortuitously, this card also satisfies the ColorLab, Stamping 411, and Pals Paper Arts challenges this week. Below is a close-up of the glittery snow.

I've been on a glittery snow scene kick lately, as anyone at my Stamp-a-Stack knows... who didn't go home with a glittery face?
I brayered the main panel with Bashful Blue and Night of Navy, used So Saffron and a sponge dauber for the sun, and then stamped and quartered the main panel. And here is a close-up of the bling.

I LOVE the second card! Welcome Christmas is one of my favorite sets in the entire catalog and this is a great use of it!
Charming and sweet, both of them!
This is beautiful.
Oh my gosh, these are BOTH fabulous! Love the window treatment (why am I reminded of HGTV?) on the first card, and the glittery snowy scene in the second! BTW, I must be getting tired...I read your blog post title as Friday Mishap. :P

Great scenes. They turned out adorable!
Beautiful way to incorporate fabric. Makes the window panes so real!!! Amazing cards. Thanks for playing along with us at Pals Paper Arts!!!
How very creative! Love your cards!
both are so cool. I love the curtains, but even better is that little snowman on the hill. I also love that welcome for Christmas set, so that's extra cool with Lovely as a tree.
Love the curtains. They are truly great. I think they are the perfect touch to your card. Great job!!
