Snowman With Heart


I just purchased some new Grand Spellbinders and decided to use them to make a shaped card.  I used the dies for the white card base and the blue layer. 


The Snowman With Heart image is one of Sparkle N Sprinkle’s digital stamps by Michelle Perkett.  I printed it in black but formatted the image to separate the sentiment.  I colored him with alcohol markers and added some of the new Gypsy Red Velvet Glitter, using a glue pen (see Accenting with Glitter in Tips and Techniques).  Before adding the three little brads, I added some Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter (see Bling Your Brads, also in the TNT section).  When they were dry I sponged the edges lightly with blue ink.  I used more of the Gypsy Red Velvet Glitter around the sentiment and the cute little snowflakes are actually Tear-ific tape on cardstock, die cut with this cute little flower center die.  After cutting them out, I removed the protective layer and add the Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter. 

I am really enjoying these new Velvet Glitters from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  They feel so awesome and have an amazing sparkle. 

Thank you for visiting my blog!!

love how you turned the sentiment around and framed it with a touch of the glitter - genious!

Cute image to boot. Hope he'll become a real stamp one day!
