For my card design today, I decided to create a fun snowman themed card with a difference. Can you imagine a snowman chilling on the beach with his parrot buddy? Of course, I had to give him a cool Hawaiian shirt and hat to help keep the sun off and I had fun using the paper piecing technique to color and texture. Paper piecing is a wonderful way to add color to an image without actually having to color, so if you are not a fan of coloring, maybe this technique is for you? I stamped the images onto two different patterns of Lemon Lime Twist Designer Series Paper using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then I fussy cut them out to add to my snowman. I think he is a sharp dressed snowman, don't you?

I really wanted to go with the fun Hawaii tropical beach theme for my card and the patterns in the Brights 6"x6" Designer Series Paper Pack were a perfect fit. I used the same design for the card front as I did for the shirt and I colored the flowers on the shirt with the Dark Bubble Bath Stampin' Blends Marker to add to the tropical feel. The hat image was stamped on the polka dot pattern and I thought it gave it an almost camo feel to the hat. I love the look of the deckled edges for the focal circle and the sentiment label and I love how they pop against the Lemon Lime Twist card front. To complete the card design, I added two of the small Lemon Lime Twist Gems from the Tinsel Gems Four Pack for a touch of bling. Imagine sending this card to someone during the Winter to help warm their heart and brighten their day.
