I made this card for my 9 yo DD for Christmas who loves snowmen as much as me!
I stamped the image with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto 140lb watercolour paper and coloured it with Lyra watercolour pencils and a small round paintbrush. I added some Stampendous Cotton White Fun Flock mixed with fine crystalina glitter to the snowman's hat then dotted around some Ranger White Opal Liquid Pearls for snow I added two layers of hand-cut white glitter cardstock at the bottom of the snowman - which was really to cover up a black mark I had accidentally put there - but I love how it added some depth to the image. Isn't it great when a boo-boo turns into something better?!
I diecut some Snowflakes using my Big Shot and 3 different-sized My Favorite Things Die-namics snowflakes dies. I added some blue pearls from the Bo Bunny Jewels set 'Snowflake collection' to the snowflake centres.
The silver-edged blue organza ribbon was attached in 2 separate elements and the bow itself was made with my Bow Easy. I added some fray-stop to the cut edges of the ribbon as organza ribbon frays terribly. I added the glitter cardstock star that popped out of the centre when diecutting the largest MFT Die-namics snowflake to the ribbon centre which tied things all together nicely.
Thanks for having a peek at my card! Please come and peek at my blog - this link will take you directly to my card: http://instead-of-ironing.blogspot.c...tmas-card.html
