Raymonds Snowman

Today I am sharing a little Christmas decoration made using the Raymonds digi stamp set for December from the Progressive Challenge on Imagine that digistamp.

This month's free digi stamp set download with the progressive challenge is really cute and perfect for a winter birthday for a child as it also has sentiment to compliment that but I have used the digi stamps to make a winter mobile to hang in the window of my porch.

I enlarged the Let it snow digi stamp disc and placed Raymond in the middle, with the Celebrate Winter sentiment, just above his head. I coloured Raymond and his truck in with promarkers, adding my stickles in frosted lace for some snowy texture.

I made the accompanying snowflake discs smaller. As this was going to be hung up, the other side of my winter mobile was going to just show the snowflakes which are so pretty.

I've displayed it on my tree to take the picture as it will show up much better and look a lot more festive......as well as not keep moving while I try and take a picture.

Funnily enough, it was the Christmas ribbon from my stash that gave me the idea to make a hanging decoration, as I thought the blue beads and wooden star matched the snowflakes so well.

I used my stickles in frosted lace also on the snowflakes and the really make them twinkle when they catch the light. 

There is some lovely inspiration on the blog challenge from other crafters who have also joined in the challenge this month which is always great to see everyone's spin on making something using the same material. That's what crafting is all about.

Happy Crafting
