Happy Snowmen




I just love these snowmen! Only various shade of blue were used to color in all of the hats, scarves and mittens on this card and it looks so crisp and cool, just like a winter day. This card layout is very similar to a previous post with the exception of the placement of the sentiment and the size of the layers used. With just a few changes you can get a totally different look. The embossed snowflake layer was spritzed with a mixture of alcohol and frost white shimmer paint. It really gives a nice soft glittery effect without using glitter. I like the look of glitter but not necessarily the mess it sometimes makes. The background paper is more that I had in my endless supply of paper and the snowflakes are punch out from DCWV glitter paper. So I got to have glitter without the mess of putting it on the paper myself.

Supplies Used: Paper: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Snowflake Background Paper (unknown), DCWV Glitter Paper; Ink: Palette Noir Black, Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, Various SU Markers; Stamps: Holiday Lineup, Christmas Cheer, Snow Flurries; Other: SU Snowflake Punch, Blue and Clear Rhinestones, Frost White Stickles, Snowflake Cuttlebug Embossing Folder
