Things I changed:
1. stamp sets
2. colors
3. placement of snowflakes
4. tied ribbon differently
I used Copic markers C1, C3, C5, C7, BV29, RV23, and R59 to color the snowman.
I used Old Olive reinker and Barely Banana, Bashful Blue, and Brocade blue stamp pads for the trees and sky.
The snow on the ground is white craft ink embossed with white embossing powder.
This card is also for a Double Dare Challenge I do with a group of friends. Francie G. challenged us to use bleaching on our card. I chose to bleach the snowflakes on the pink cardstock. Thanks for the challenge Francie as I've always been a bit nervous working with bleach.
TFL!

Charlene, I love your pink snowflake bleached BG and adorable main image. You did a beautiful job coloring with your Copics. I am getting closer and closer to trying Copics. They do color beautifully. TFS

Your copic coloring is just fantastic. Especially on his hat. I so want to try copics but they are intimidating. I love the bleached snowflakes. What a snowy card. Love the trees in the background too. Lovely card. This image is adorable.
