I used a card from emilymomto3boys. I kept a Christmas/winter image and layout but made a few changes in paper, panel sizes and shapes.
-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps were used to color the image using the Gamsol technique. Baby oil replaces the Gamsol/mineral spirits.
-The snowflakes are from a Fiskars border punch, when I want just the snowflake I cut ½” strips and place the end of the strip into the punch at the snowflake design as I’m looking at the bottom of the punch. They are glued to the card and I placed a drop of glitter adhesive in the center to hold the glitter on. Glitter adhesive was also used to place the glitter on the image panel. -
-The side tabs are the punch outs from tablet of paper and they already had the ink distressed look on them, I just cut them down to fit the space.
-Tacky glue was used to attach the Flower Soft to the hat.
