Building a Snowman

Have you ever had one of those times when you know what you want to create but one element isn't quite right?  This card was one of those.  I have been working on it for days but couldn't find a paper to fit what I had in mind.  Then, at 11pm last night, I found what I was looking for.  First thing this morning, I was up and eager to create:


The card will be entered into the following challenges:

The wonderful paper that I mentioned above comes from Decossé's Dynamite Doodles.  You can find it here:

The image that I have used is called Building a Snowman and it comes from Fresh Brewed Designs.  I have coloured the image with copic markers and die-cut using my new Wonky Squares die from Spellbinders.  The glittery snowflake is also a Spellbinders die and has been cut from some glitter cardstock by DCWV.  I have added a pearl to the centre of the snowflake and raised the image up to give the card some dimension.

Fresh Brewed Designs also has a blog hop coming up soon:

    I LOVE THIS CARD!!! it is so soft and pretty! I think we have all had those 'not quite right' moments! I am so glad that you found the paper you were looking for. I had to really look at it, because the snowflakes really do appear to pop off of the page! GORGEOUS!!!

    Thank you for playing along with us for our January AG challenge at Freshly Brewed Challenges! Hope to see you at the hop this weekend!!!
