Hello my fabulous friends!
Are you tired of seeing snowmen yet?
I hope not! I've been having so much fun painting snowmen this year!!!

This snowman is one of the cuties for The Hedgehog Hollow October box that my friend Tammy designed... isn't he adorable?!?!
I do a lot of soft colors when I watercolor, but for this guy, I wanted some darker colors. I wanted a vintage feel, so I kept the colors muted and traditional... I love how he turned out!
If you haven't already checked out my snowman coloring video using Zigs, you can watch it HERE... It isn't this snowman, but the same concepts apply!
This banner die is an older one that I've had for years, but often forget about! It has one die that cuts the whole banner, then another die that cuts each individual banner... so I cut a bunch of banner pieces and colored them using the same colors as in the snowman.. I then decorated them using the Bleedproof White ink, and some Liquid Pixie Dust for sparkle...
To add a bit more sparkle, I traced over the sentiment with a Gelly Roll Clear Star pen. This pen is one of my favorite ways of adding detailed shimmer accents!
For those of you who aren't a fan of winter/Christmas, or who are just tired of seeing all these snowmen 😉, I've ordered a bunch of new stamps to start coloring up over on Instagram and turning into cards here on my blog, so stay tuned!
See you soon!
