Snowman

I've booked a days leave today, omg its bliss not to have to rush out to work on a Monday morning! I have got some decorating to do though (YUK) but before I start, here's my latest addtion to my ever growing box of Christmas cards

I fancied a bit of messy crafting yesterday an made some bps with my starburst stains - the two on this card are both made with 'Frosted  forget-me-nots'. The lower paper is made by brushing the stain onto copier paper and scrunching it up for a bit of texture. To make the top paper, I stamped some snowflakes on a sheet of copier paper and embossed them with clear EP before brushing on loads of stain. They are so shimmery its hard to get a decent pic.

The little snowman was an image given to me so I don't know the stamp but he's a real cutie, coloured with promarkers and some polar white flowersoft and snowflake glitter on his hat and mittens. I've torn some sheets of white card and added flowersoft and glitter to the edges to make the snowdrifts.

 The lantern embellie, is a glimmer chip, embossed around the edged with icicle tex EP and then painted with some cosmic shimmer powders to add the light effect. Once the paint was dry, I drew some criss cross lines with a black pen and embossed the with clear EP. The sentiment is a stamp from Joanna Sheen, it reads 'Snowmen fall from heaven unassembled'. I've stamped it on a creative acrylic piece with black stazon and then embossed the back with shimmery blue EP and attached it with some blue sparkly ribbon

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
