Today's Featured Stamper was to create a card by picking a Featured Stamper that I haven't cased yet, at least I don't think I have. I chose this card by PickleTree back in 2008 for FS59: Snow Wonderful CC196 by PickleTree at Splitcoaststampers
I started with SU Real CS as the base. I layered with GP White cs. I used the MS Lace Border Punch on the bottom of the white cs. I layered with Teal Textured CS, I ran the top part of the Teal CS with the CB Swiss Dot folder and the bottom I used the MS Lace Border Punch. I cut 3 strips of the GP white cs, used scissors to make the snow look hilly. I used my 2 way glue on the edges of the hills, then sprinkled Diamond Dust to give it sparkle. I stamped the sentiment with black stazon. I stamped the snowman with black stazon, colored with SU Markers, cut out and stuck him on with 3D dot, the bottom portion of the snowman is underneath the hill because he was to tall. I tied a red satin ribbon. I used my versa mark pen on the brad snowflakes, cut the prongs off and used silver embossing powder, then used the heat gun to set. The snowflakes are adhered with sticky Zots.
Things I changed: CB folder, omitted the MS snowflake punch for snowflake brads, satin ribbon
I've always was a big fan of PickleTree, thanks for the inspiration.

Adorable, Connie! Thanks for the CASE! I had not seen the FS200 challenge when your comment on my original came through -- what a fun challenge and such a nice surprise that you picked one of my cards. Thanks so much!

Love this cute little snowman in the mounds of snow and the bright colors you used to show case him. I like the swiss dots EF you used that makes it look like it is snowing.
