Measurements: 4 ΒΌΒ x 5 Β½Β card, large turquoise panel: 3 7/8Β 5 1/8Β, pink band across: 3//4Β wide, green panel 2 ΒΌΒ x 3 Β½Β, turquoise with image panel: 2 Β½Β x 2 ΒΎΒ.
*On the embossed panels I used the Pearl Ex Spray Shimmer technique. I put about a tablespoon of hair spray in a mist bottle and added a touch of Pearl Ex, shake it up and your ready to spray the cardstock and it gives it a nice shimmer pretty close to the shimmer paper but a whole lot less money.
The cardstock will curl some so I use adhesive all around the edge to secure it to the card.
*The snowflakes are embossed with Heat and Stick powder that I added Dazzling Diamonds to so itΒs a one step process. I used Diamond Glaze to attach the gems and the snowflakes are tacky glued to the card.
*The image is colored with artist brush and re inkers. The sky is sponged on using a handmade template from cardstock. I also sponged a bit of gray in the snow area.
I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the swirls panel and Fiskars embossing plate run through the Cuttlebug for the snowflakes panel.
The photo corner feature is from the EK Success Iron Eagle punch.

Awesome card, Roxy! I love you corner feature. The snowman is oh, so cute, and the cuttlebug bg is great to give the impression of swirling snow. Love the snowflakes and sparkly gems. Thanks so much for the tip on the hairspray -very creative!
