Aren’t these critters from Arctic Animals adorable! Now although they come with their own matching die set, once I’d stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black and Copic coloured them I then fussy cut them out rather than using the dies. Reason being, is that I could cut out the cracker, hat, antlers etc and layer and overlap elements without the white edge. I do love my dies, but every once in a while it’s therapeutic to pull out the scissors and these cuties were simple to cut out – nice, easy lines to follow :D

Once I’d got my three guys ready I added Lawn Fawn patterned paper to a top folding card base and wrapped it with twine. Then cut a snowy hill for the three to sit on with a Wavy Scallop Stitches die from White card and stamped the sentiment in Black.

A couple of sequins to finish and this quick card was complete :D

The new Clearly Besotted release will go live at 10pm UK time (5pm EST) on 5th September at both Clearly Besotted and Simon Says Stamp. In the meantime check out Stephanie for more inspiration and links to the Design Team and Yoonsun Hur our guest for the month :D
