DRS Challenge #182-You've Got Mail

Good morning!

DRS stamps used: 429G Happy Mail, 383G Simply Snowman

Hahaha! Snowmen is July!  Hey, he's getting a head start for Christmas! Sending out his cards way early because of the slow delivery service from the North Pole!
I did a little creative masking here to put the snowman in the image instead of the flower.  Just taped off the part of the stamp that I did not want to ink, inked up the stamp then removed the tape.  I used a stamp aligner to place the snowman in just the right spot to look like he was either taking out the mail or puttin it in.  I used Liquid Applique to make snow around Mr. Snowman and the mail box!
I embossed the background layer with a snowflake folder and sewed around the edge to go with my stitched die cuts.  I added the candy stripe pattern to the snowman scarf.
Thanks for visiting and hope you'll hop on over to DRS Designs to join the challenge and to see the other designer inspiration!  HERE.
