I refer to my card as the never ending card – only because every time I worked on it I came up with one more thing to do.  After three days I made myself stop and take pictures.  I knew I wanted a lot of layers and sparkle and I decided to use one of my favorite color combinations, blue and brown.  I decided to distress most edges and sponge with ink.

On the base card I added the look of stitching by running a piercing tool around the edge and then adding embossed stitching using a glue pen and Ice Rink EP.  I added the same EP on top of the inked snowflakes on the third layer after punching around the edges with a snowflake corner/border punch set.




The top two layers were created using Spellbinder dies and then I decided to turn it into a shaker window.  I used more of the Ice Rink EP on the bottom frame die and the little blue snowflakes in the shaker window.  I used Embossable Clear Acetate for the window and embossed the sentiment using Teddy Brown EP and two snowflakes with Winter White EP.
I love all the sparkly layered stickers you can buy for cards and scrapbook pages and wanted to give this look to this adorable snowman.  I created a total of 4 layers and added Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter and Twinkling Clouds Sparkle N Soft to add the sparkle.




Lots of snowflakes was a must so I used punches, covered them with Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter, and sponged them with ink to add additional color. 









I wanted to try something new with my ribbon.  I used a sheer light blue and added snowflakes using VersaMark ink and Ice Rink EP.  I used the heat gun just long enough to melt the powder, trying not to melt the ribbon.  It did cause the edges to curl up a bit but that just added to the look of the ribbon.







And it made a beautiful bow.  

Find the full details for this card in the SNS gallery here.
