-Ink distressing is done before the panels are attached using scrap paper to mask off areas. ItÂ’s also done on each panel and snowman edges.
-Prismacolor pencils color the carrot and heart. I stamped the arms onto the panel then cut the snowman out minus the arms and glued to the card.
-Snowflakes: place rubber in VersaMark first then the colored ink and stamped. Pour on Heat and Stick mixed with Dazzling Diamonds and heat.
-Holly is colored with Prismacolor pencils, cut out, sculpted with a metal ball stylus, glittered the berries with Art Glitter adhesive and Dazzling Diamonds, glued to the card. The glitter was also added to the snowman heart also.
-Dark Red Prismacolor was added to the dark green edges and blended outward. Art Glitter was applied in a straight line alone the same edges and glittered.
The layout is similar but not exact to a purchased greeting card.

How smart to stamp the arms on the center then cut out the snowman and then glue on! That way you don't have to cut out the arms, and the snowman kind of pops! Thanks for not only a great sketch, but a terrific hint!
