Mornin' y'all! How's your Tuesday going? My hand is now green *and* purple instead of just purple from my fall on Saturday, but my shoulder and arm are hurting less so I think that's an improvement. And if I'm careful, I can still stamp, though I haven't tried stitching yet. I'm even still working out, though I'm not using weights and I'm skipping anything that involves putting weight on my right hand, at least I'm still doing it.
So CAS on Fridays wants to see a snowman, and I've got a mini-sized one to share today, times two:
One anniversary year, SU! did 12 "Best of" sets where they brought back images from previous stamp sets, and this little dude is a miniature version of Frosty, which was a hugely popular stamp set when I first started stamping and of course I have him. I paired him with the colors from CAS Colours & Sketches:
I made the card on the left first, but then I thought it was too much Secret Sea and not enough of the other two colors, so I made the card on the right. What do you think? The only embellishment I did is to go over the "Enjoy" on each card with Wink of Stella for a bit of subtle shine.
I need to finish my tea and take Daphne for her daily walk; this afternoon I have to take the hubs to an optometry appointment (he's getting his eyes dilated so can't drive himself), so that will cut short crafty time today. Which just means that I need to be efficient this morning : ) Cheers!
Supplies, all SU!
Stamps: Best of Snow, Heartfelt Hellos
Ink: Secret Sea, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Stampin' Blends in Secret Sea, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Smoky Slate, one of the neutral browns for his carrot nose
Paper: Secret Sea, Basic White
Accessories: Stitched Rectangles dies, Wink of Stella

These are ADORABLE! I remember those "anniversary" sets but mine are long gone! You did an awesome job with your CAS snowman!
Double cuteness from Frosty - I actually prefer the first one majoring on Secret Sea ;-) Thanks for sharing over at CAS Colours & Sketches! So glad you are still managing a little crafting, despite your bruises. I thought of you this morning as I stepped outside in brand new boots with a smooth sole and nearly ended up on my bum - and it wasn't even icy (I am a liability lol!) I scuffed them up on the driveway before I ventured further!! Have a great day!
