This was a fun project for me. I haven't made a step card in awhile, and while I love learning new techniques, I enjoy revisiting some old ones for variety. . I decided to do a side step card for these challenges . The challenge at Mod Squad (Frosty the Snowman) was to use snowmen. I oped for digi images from Beccy's Place
http://beccysplace.blogspot.com/ because I could size them for this project. I love dimension and texture on a card. The side step card provides lots of dimension, but I also created levels by using pop dots. I am not skilled enough with my photography to show the many levels. The texture does not show up that well either, but I used some white embossing powder on the trees and the song lyrics. The front snowman has a piece of a cotton ball on his hat and the snowman on the second level has a cotton ball snowball in his hand ready to throw at you. I also used home made flower soft around the fence and on snow hills. The fence and trees are IO dies. I used a digital image of the song lyrics of
Frosty the Snowman for a background. This actually came together quickly because I used images and die cuts that I had in my stash. The only thing I didn't have is the lyrics from Frosty.
I will enter this in the Dies are Us Winter Wonder Land
and the Simon Says Wednesday challenge.
I am familiar with a step card, but a side step, I have not seen before. This is just amazing and so much detail and texture on it. I enlarged it so I could see everything. It's like looking into a globe, you can just gaze for a long time. Wondering what all of the characters on this card are doing. I'm going to have to do some research on side step cards. You have really inspired me.
