Shimmery Sparkly Snowman

I inked up Anna Wight's Snowman for Peace, one of the new cling sets from Whipper Snapper Designs...I just love this snowman! I blinged him all up by with clear and blue Swarovski Crystals, layered him on some shimmery blue CS, and the snow is even glittery!

The card measures 4.25" x 4.25" square. I love square cards, and this size is nice because it'll fit in a regular invitation envelope. The layout is Julee Tilman's Mojo Sketch 59. I used PTI's Night Sky Shimmer CS for the card base and the punched snowflakes....sooo shimmery! The white panel is dry embossed through the Cuttlebug with the snowflakes folder. The snowflakes were punched out with a Martha Stewart Snowflake punch and popped up on dimensionals, then I added a small dot of crystal effects to the centers to glue down the clear crystals. The snowman was stamped once onto white CS with Versafine Black Onyx, watercolored with Basic Black ink, and his nose was colored with a Y38 Honey Copic marker. I stamped the hat and scarf onto Bashful Blue Designer Prints, cut them out, and glued them over the snowman. I added Dries Clear Adhesive to the snow under the snowman and sprinkled on some of Taylor's Starfire Glitter.

The inside of the card has a thin 1/2" strip of the Bashful Blue Designer Prints along the bottom edge, and I stamped some of the snowflakes from Anna's Snowman for Peace set along the top edge in Bashful Blue ink.
