This is my first attempt at inking over a silhouette (there is probably a technical term for that!). So I cut three snowmen in different sizes on my Cricut, cut a piece of card to resemble snow, and taped them all down onto a piece of white card. I then set to work with different coloured inks, very naughty of me but I used the ink pads directly, hence the lines, but I quite like the effect.
I then peeled off the snowman family and VOILA! I didn't know whetehr to stick the hat and acarf etc on, but decided it looked better with. And then just added some snowflakes and oraganza ribbon to finish.
I like it. Hope you do too!

I hope you've enjoyed your meal. Sadly, I can't see your card as it says the image has been moved or deleted - it sounds great though x
I can see it now! And it's beautiful - thanks for joining in my CHNC challenge 80 - hope to see you again soon. x
Wow... Stunning and so different. What a clever idea and the sky looks like northern lights,
Well done and thanks for joining CHCC challenge 80.

That background is just so effective makes one think of an icy cold wind blowing. Excellent idea.
