A quick and simple card which I started making in July for the SCS Free for All Challenge of Snowflakes and Pearls, but my card got lost on my desk and I only found it this week (you know how it is LOL!!). See this link for the deets on the Challenge: F4A21: Snowflakes and Pearls by Stampinsilvia at Splitcoaststampers
I coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils and OMS, plus I used a Lyra Skin tone pencil for the face. I added some White Liquid Applique to the coat and ear muffs and let that dry overnight before I applied my heat-gun to make it "pop". I did actually paint over the Liquid Applique (once it had cooled) with white acrylic paint because the Liquid Applique comes out an off-white colour which looked kind-of "dirty" against the white cardstock, then added Kindyglitz Crystalina on top to make it sparkle. I lightly chalked around the image with blue chalk.
The snowflake on the ribbon was diecut using the Cuttlebug Snowflake #2 die set, and the snowflakes dotted around the embossing were punched from my Martha Stewart Snow Flurry edge punch (they are the leftover punchies when you punch a border with it), and these snowflakes are up on mounts. I added red rhinestones to the centres. I attached the ribbon in 2 separate elements and the bow itself was made with my Bow Easy.
I am also entering this card into 2 other Challenges: Crazy 4 Challenges which is Bling, and
Allsorts Challenges Week 71 which is Plain and Simple. I have details of these Challenges on my Blog - this link will take you directly to my card: http://instead-of-ironing.blogspot.c...ter-magic.html
Thanks for having a peek at my card!
