Snowflake Blessings

It's Saturday again and we have another fun theme for you at Allsorts challenge. Lorraine (Lolo) is hosting this week and selected the optional theme of Let it Snow. Everyone is welcome to join us with your winter themed creation or anything crafty goes! We have two fabulous prizes this week by  Oakwood - a Stampendous stamp and 2 stencils.

Here is what I made:

I started out by stamping the snowflakes (Penny Black Holiday Snippets) with Versamark ink and heat embossing using super fine white embossing powder. Then I inked  the background with Distress Oxide inks Cracked Pistachio, Blueprint Sketch and  Tumbled Glass. I also added a few sprinkles of blue Brushos  (spritzed with water). Posca Pen ink onto the background too. Speaking of Posca pens, if you are using this for spatter effects, do you have any tips on how not to get spatter all over your desk and everything around? I don't mind the mess so much, but it seems like I am wasting the pen by spattering all around instead of the card!!!

I wanted to add some sort of creature to the card so of course a little snowman is perfect for a snowflake themed card. This little one is part of Penny Black's clear set  Holly Jolly. I used my Faber Castell Polychromos pencils for coloring and then I fussy cut the image. The beautiful snowflake quote is part of the same snowflake stamp set Holiday Snippets. I also used a winter word stamp from Lavinia Stamps (Winter Magic) which I really love too. I first used it with Tumbled Glass ink but you can barely see the words, so I used it again randomly this time with Broken China ink. A little bit of Frosted Lace stickles glitter on the snowman's hat and a few tiny rhinestones finish off the card.
