You Melt My Heart

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by the Unity Stamps Show & Tell Create Your Own Background Challenge for these darling snowman cards. I used Unity Stamps Snow Buddies Stamp Set with Gina K Winter Snow Foiling Sheet and Thermoweb Colors of Harmony Shades of Red and Shades of Green Foiling Paper. I love the shimmer and shine so I added sparkle to the snowman's hat and his little snowman baby in front of him.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you like foiling?
A: Me? I LOVE it, peeling the foil off the design is so satisfying

Card #1: You Melt My Heart 



Card #2: I Snow Adore You
