CAS354 - JOLLY HOLLY-DAYS

Hey there, I've got two cards to share with you today.  They are both for this week's Evergreen, monochromatic greens, CAS challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  I actually made a different background for this cutie pie, but it was too much white and I just wasn't feeling it.

Frosty is from C.C. Designs and is so much fun to color!  He was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers then fussy cut.  In keeping with the "green" theme, the snowman suit was colored with my favorite snow combo...green...blue green to be more precise.  Mask It was used to cover the bottom portion of the panel then a liquid masking fluid was spritzed with a toothbrush.  After it was dry, Pistachio was sponged over the top then I used my finger to rub off the masking fluid after it was done.  I actually got this idea for the layout from a card that Kim O'Connell recently made.  Love it!  I left off the sequins and added a die cut element in the corner.  Well, I guess that's about it.
