Let it Snow - Merry Misfits

 This delightful little snowman is part of one of the new Christmas stamp releases from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous called Merry Misfits.

 To make this card I stamped the snowflakes from the set onto a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock, then embossed them with Ranger Snowflake Tinsel Embossing Powder. It is a white powder with tiny glitter pieces in it so it sparkles. Then I lightly colored it by spraying it with water and then lightly spraying some blue Distress Ink colors on it -- just use the colors you have. I think I used Blueprint and maybe Faded Jeans.
Then I stamped the woodgrain from the lumberjack set onto another piece of watercolor cardstock and embossed it with the Snowflake Tinsel. I used the same blue colors and watercolored the knot in to the woodgrain with a waterbrush so it looked like a little pond.

 Before I assembled the card I colored another piece of watercolor paper with Chipped Sapphire, then trimmed both pieces and edged them with a bit of brown Distress Ink.

 If you look closely here you can see the bits of glitter in the Snowflake Tinsel.

 To make the snow drifts I just cut the wood grain stamped paper along one of the lines above the pond that looks a little like a snow drift.
The trees were stamped from the cute set called Seasonal Scribbles. I stamped three trees in Pine Needles and then cut them out, inking the white around it with Pine Needles also.

 Here you can see how the knot in the wood is colored to make a little pond, and the Snowflake Tinsel makes the snow drifts sparkly.

 The snowman was stamped in Distress Archival Black Soot and colored lightly with Distress Inks. Then I made some pupils in his eyes with Distress Inks and a tiny detail brush. I cut him out, sprayed him with Distress Resist Spray and added Clear Rock Candy Glitter with a Glitter Duster, He's popped up with dimensional adhesive.

That's it! A super fun and festive card.
Thanks for stopping by!
