I've had a love affair with Frosty for too many years to count. He comes around every snowfall, but I have to admit I been known to make a Winter card with his image on a hot summer day.
This is a side step card, but Frosty covers most of the front.
I did a little stippling with Copic Opaque White to give Frosty a little texture, then I colored him and his little bird with Copic markers. And to give the accumulated snow on his arms and hat more dimension, I used 3D Crystal paint. I mounted the image with a Spellbinders die. To the left of Frosty I used a portion of Memory Box's Flowering Christmas Tree and embellished with blue jewels. The flourish at the top is Die-namics die and the embossing on the sides is Cuttlebugs Swiss Dots embossing folder. On the bottom fold is another Memory Box die, Grand Merry Christmas.

Gail, I love the vintage look you created with sponging and all the great details you added- the flourish, the snow, the 3D sentiment, the bling! Faved.
