The Paper Players #74 Snow Buddy

I had so much fun with this card sketch from The Paper Players.  The glitter was a-flyin'!!  Here's the sketch:



Nice and easy layout that you can really sink your teeth into!  Here's my interpretation with one of my favorite stamp sets.




Love this little round guy.  After watercoloring the focal image, I covered the entire thing with Versa Mark and Iridescent Ice embossing powder.  I think he looks like he's in his own personal snow globe!




I outlined the Not Quite Navy rectangular panel with Dazzling Details.  Love that stuff!  I must order more!  I also used the Versa Mark/Iridescent Ice trick to make my own shimmery snowflakes since I didn't have any glimmer paper.  I used a really old SU snowflake stamp that wasn't very cooperative last night.  My husband thought I was beating up on something in my craft room!  In a way, I guess I was, but now I have a cute pile of sparkly snowflakes to use on cards.  Yea!






Thanks for looking at my blog. I appreciate all the wonderful comments everyone leaves. Happy Stamping!

    Hi Sheri! This is "snow" much fun! What a fun technique to cover the entire image in Iridescent Ice. I'm excited to try it out now! The Dazzling Details around the edge is an awesome touch, too. Such a pretty card, in evey way! Thanks for joining us this week at the Paper Players! :)
