I know it's not only another holiday card, but it's also in blues. I can't help myself, I love blue and white with a sparkle of silver.
I used the SC251 sketch challenge this week to come up with this card. The ADORABLE snowman was sent to me in a BRAK from Coffeestamper ~thanks SO MUCH Sue~. I just fell in love with this little guy. I colored him with watercolor pencils and blender pen and sparkled him up with some icicle stickles. I used the snowflakes EF on 3 of the panels and swiss dots on the middle panel. Sparkled it up with thin mats of silver glitter paper on 2 of the panels, some silver corner ribbons and silver pearls. Added a sheer blue ribbon to one of the panels. I stamped some snowflakes from the Snow Swirled set to make all the panel layers using ballet blue on white card stock before embossing them.
That's about it. I had fun making this card and it didn't come out anything like what I had planned. One thing led to another, which led to another and this is way I ended up with.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and if you have a quick moment, let me know what you think.
