What a fun sketch! As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to do a snowman theme with snowflakes in the circles. I got to use a Hampton Arts snowman set I got on sale at Michaels several years ago but had yet to use. I found all the coordinating papers (including the card base!) in my scrap bin. I started by stamping the snowman on a scrap of white cardstock, coloring, and cutting it out with the die that came with the stamps. I cut a strip of striped paper and attached to the card. Then I cut a rectangle of light blue and smeared glue on the bottom third and dredged through the fake snow until well covered. I figured out where the snowman would go and dotted glue around that area and added more fake snow to the glue, and set aside to dry. I didnât have a circle close enough in size to the sentiment circle to layer with it so I decided to reverse the sketch by making the middle one one layer and the others two, and also popping up the middle one. I stamped the sentiment in black and die cut it. Then I die cut two more light blue circles and two gray smaller circles. I used tape runner to attach the circle layers together and then attach them to the card, and used foam tape to attach the middle circle. I used glue to attach the snowman to the blue rectangle, and layered the piece onto some silver cardstock as the glue had warped the blue piece a bit and it needed support. Then I attached the rectangle piece to the card using foam tape.
For the record, the fake snow is a nice effect but a little messy to work with! TFL!

This is just the happiest looking little snowman and your chunky, sparkly snow looks fantastic. Great job with the circle elements with the glittery snowflakes and fun sentiment : )
