Melting Snowman

Hi there everyone, here is Day 10 of the challenge "Twelve Tags of Christmas" with Loll and Friends, http://stampingwithloll.com Today I have called this tag Melting Snowman, he wasn't intended to be melting, I used Tim Holtz Embossing folder "Snowman" he is the lovely snowman who is facing sideways, I covered him with Embossing ink and also embossing powder and used the heat  gun, but it didn't work out as it should have, then I decided to cover him with Texture paste, but I wasn't able to cover him neatly, and then I had to use two layers as the first one took on the red colour from the card, I found two little black beads for his eyes but didn't have enough for his buttons, on his face there was a little bit that I couldn't get the texture paste on and I thought, OK I will call it his mouth, and I used an Distress Marker
Carved Pumpkin for his nose, I drew some holly leaves and berries for his hands with gel pens.   I used Tim Holtz "Stars" stencil for the stars, but again the texture paste absorbed the red card colour so I outlined them with a white gel pen,  I also used the gel pen for the snow.   I used a red and white gingham ribbon and attached a small brass snowflake to the bow with a small brass safety pin, and used a small stamp for the Merry Christmas with distress ink pad "Black Soot"  hope you like this one, I was almost going to toss him in the bin, but he had taken so much time that I thought he looked unique, so here he is!   Thanks so much for visiting today, Jasann
