Mr Frostie in green

Hello and welcome, 

We have a bad winter here in Sweden where we live, and with bad I mean lack of snow. I love snow and we like to go cross country skiing. We have been able to ski but mostly on artificial snow. So with that in mind I got the idea to make Mr Frostie and surroundings in green. Here we go: ⛄️

I started with the background, a nr #8 mixed media tag. Then brayered the snowflakes with Distress paint in Picket fence, and stamped. Dried with heat tool. Be aware that you need to clean your stamps immediately so the paint doesn’t dry on the stamp! 

Then I inked my craft mat with Distress ink and Oxides, sprayed some water and dipped the tag. Dried between layers and repeated until happy. 

I inked the edges with Scorched timber Distress ink and stitched around the tag with my sewing machine. 

I stamped “let it snow”  and the branch from CMS499 Mr Frostie stamp set with Archival ink in Black soot.

I diecut the snowflake from 666717 Vault Winter Wishes from Watercolor cardstock. Then used collage medium matte as glue and added Clear rock candy glitter to the snowflake. Let dry. Glue to the tag.

I stamped Mr Frostie himself on Watercolor paper and colored him with Distress inks. Fuzzy cut him and then inked the edges with Distress ink Scorched timber. 

I diecut the letters “MR FROSTIE” from 666859, from sanded Ideaology Kraftstock. Then glued to the tag. 

I adhered Mr Frostie with 3D foam for some dimension, and glued just his arms to the tag. Here you can see the white snowflakes in the background. ❄️❄️

I cut a small circle from some scrap paper just to fit Mr Frostie’s head, and placed over his head. Then I splattered some Distress paint Picket fence over the rest of the tag.

Thank you for visiting,
