Sit down and get a coffee...lots of details to share! ;)
The snowman and flakes are from a clear set by Wordsworth called Snowman.
-Blush layer was stamp with the small snowflake background in the set with blush dye ink, then dotted with a gel pen in the middle.
-There is a dotted corner stamp from Green Grass Stamps in the left corners which have the dots punched out with the Karen Foster ClickIt tool.
-All edges are sponged with white craft and then heat set
-Celery panel is stamped with Dotted in white craft, jewels are by Prima
-Turqouise panel stamped with Houndstooth, top half with the larger snowflakes from the Snowman set and has a line of faux stitching
-I stamped the snowman image on vanilla so that I could color them with a white gel pen and it would contrast. I stamped the images in Stone Grey StazOn b/c I felt that black was too start for these soft colors. The scarf is colored with a Turquoise marker and then covered with a Stardust gel pen. The heart was colored with a gel pen too.
-both ribbons are from Michaels, snowflake brad is by Paper Fasteners
-that adorable line of jewels on the ribbon is from a sweet friend, they are by a*muse and are self-adhesive
-I didnt want to busy the image by layering with a bunch of paper...hmmmm...what to do? FOIL TAPE! Ranger makes this awesome foil tape that is also self-adhesive and voila, it looks like A TAG!

wowzers! I love this! All the inking around the edges give it a really soft look. And the blue layer with different stamps and stitching, it is wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
