Wintery OCC Challenge

Hi everyone. It's time for another OCC Challenge, and today the challenge is to make a card/project using a snowman or snowflakes.

Be sure to hop over to the OCC blog to check out the samples from the OCC crew, and to see the fun card made by our special guest (and my good friend) Janice Melton. Thanks for being our guest today, Janice!

I made two cards for today. The stamp is from Cornish Heritage Farms, part of the Friendly Kritters Collection. The images were stamped in Versafine Black Onyx and watercolored with inkpads/reinkers. The icicles and snow were done with AIG Dries Clear Adhesive and Starfire Glitter from Taylored Expressions.

The snowflakes on the blue card were punched from white CS with a Martha Stewart punch, sponged with Baja Breeze Ink, and then I added the same Starfire glitter. They were glued down with SU Dimensionals. All ribbon on the blue card is from Papertrey's Silver Collection.

The hemp twine on the red/green card is tied around celery May Arts ribbon that I got at Stamper's Dream and striped organdy ribbon from Pink Hedgehog. The sparkle in the organdy ribbon matches the starfire glitter perfectly! Love that!

The Warm Hearts sentiment was stamped on the inside of both cards. Here's a picture of the inside of the red/green card. The blue card is pretty similar, just white CS matted against black.
