My submission for the color challenge CC197. Colors to use were Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Basic Grey and Not Quite Navy. It's hard to see in the photo, but the NQN is stamped with a snowflake BG stamp using Opalite Silver Frost. It's very shimmery IRL. I sponged Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, and NQN onto the snowflake background and stamped it on Basic Grey. Then I used a speckled BG stamp and some snowflake stamps and overstamped the BG using Opalite Silver Frost. Colored the snowman image with Prismacolors/Gamsol. Found the snowflake eyelets in my stash of "stuff I've had forever but never used" and since they went along with the color scheme, I added them in. I put shiny silver stickers behind the holes in the eyelets, so it looks like there is a rhinestone in the center of the eyelet. The ribbon was "recycled" from a card I got a month ago for my birthday, and the blue and green matched perfectly. Lastly, I took my clear sparkle Stardust pen (I LOVE that pen!) and put sparkly dots on the NQN BG and all over the snowman to look like falling snow, and used Versamark and stamped the snowflake stamp from "Thanks Snow Much" and embossed with Iridescent Ice (I always have to add sparkles and bling to a card when I use gray -- just to counteract the dullness!)
