Happy Holidays!

Hello HH Fans!
I'm popping in today to share with you another image from the High Hopes Christmas Release 2! This is the adorable "Nordic Snowman With Bird" and can I just say I am in love with this image!!! High Hopes has released 12 more images, 2 trees and 2 background stamps! The cool thing is that the 7 of the images are sized to fit into the Birch Tree and Snow Globe background stamps! How cool right.... they can be used on their own or in the backgrounds!
I decided to colour 2 of the "Nordic Snowman With Bird" just because I love this image so much. I coloured one that could be a girl and one in colours that could be male. Although they are the same stamp they look different when coloured uniquely.
I matched this Snowman to papers from the Recollections "Mistletoe Wishes" 6x6 (Michaels). I stamped and cut out the image with dies called "Double Roped Ovals" from Gina Marie. I also used a Stitched Banner die for my HH sentiment "Happy Holidays 2", and a longer one for one of my paper layers. The Snowman's pom pops have Stickles and I heat embossed some "Stampendous Spoonful of Snow" on the bottom to mimic snow.
For this cutie I coloured her to match papers from the Sizzix "Sweet Christmas" 12x6 collection. I added the same Stickles and Spoonful of snow as above. You can't really tell but the sky is coloured lightly around her and I added Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard to look like falling snowflakes. Trust me looks cute in person, they just don't show up for the camera.
