Step 1
Trim the watercolor paper half an inch shorter and narrower than the card. This will create a nice quarter inch border on all sides for your artwork!
Step 2
Draw one medium sized circle and one larger sized circle below it. I’ve used washi tape rolls as my guides.
Step 3
Next, glue the 2 large sequins for the snowman’s eyes and then glue 5 small sequins for the mouth.
Step 4
Next, glue the 3 remaining large sequins on the snowman’s body. The glue dries fairly quickly and securely, but let them dry for about a minute.
Step 5
Then, draw the hat, scarf, arms and mittens, as well as outline the snowman’s body with the MONO Drawing Pen (I used the 05 size).
Step 6
Did you know that the TwinTone markers are water-based? You can scribble with the marker as I’ve done here and then with a wet paintbrush, fill in the gaps and smooth out all the strokes. It gives your card a nice watercolor look.
Step 7
Just a few small details left. Draw a small pink dot on each cheek and some gray beneath the snowman to create a shadow. Blend with a wet paintbrush to soften the colors and create that watercolor look. Add some lettering with your Tombow MONO Drawing Pen with a custom message.
Step 8
Finally, glue the watercolor paper onto the notecard using the Tombow MONO Adhesive+. Voila, you have your very own DIY snowman card! Now, who will you send yours to?
