Winter Wishes

I am still crazily making holiday cards, and I want to get them mailed by early next week. I might make my deadline...I still have quite a few to get made.  Since I am making several different cards this year instead of a master card, I am needing some inspiration -- what better than some card making challenges.

I bought this retired Stampin Up set used because I fell in love with the eyelashes...yes eyelashes!  The set is  Stylin Snowfolk. It's got a snowperson's body and lots of bits and pieces to make Snowmen and Snowladies.  I got out my stamp positioner. 

It was a critical tool to make sure every thing was placed where I wanted it.  The stamps are cling, so they cannot be positioned by sight like clear stamps.  I stamped in this order : Body over masked hat,  hat, eyelashes, nose, buttons, arm with ink wiped off of the "hands", mitten and lastly the sentiment.  I used inks from Hero Arts - Orange Soda and Cornflower. My sentiment is from Taylored Expressions - Love Grows Here and is inked with Versafine Majestic Blue, and all my black bits were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black. 

I found a scrap of blue shimmer paper that was fairly close in color and dry embossed it with the Sizzix Swirly Vine folder. The paper is very thin and it has a distressed look to it...it reminds me of swirling snow.  My tag was cut with Lawn Fawn's Tag your it die set.  And I absolutely had to add some embossing paste sprarkly snow with the Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow stencil and Distress Glitter in Rock Candy.  To finish the creation I added a pearl and some white embroidery string.


I am entering the card in the following challenges:
