Paper Smooches Guest Designer: there's snow one like you shaker!

post 1 of 2 for today...click HERE for my Chickaniddy Crafts project!

It's week 3 of my time as the Guest Designer for Paper Smooches!

I'm sharing one of my cards that I made for this week:

Gah, that little snowgirl is so cute!  She is from the Cool Dudes set and she makes me smile everytime I see her!

So, I love this whole mixed media stuff but I generally don't do much in that style.  This is as mixed media as I get.  I really am more of a clean & simple designer {you can still achieve clean & simple with layers, colors & patterns, right?!}.  

I'm a big fan of using Strathmore watercolor paper.   That's what my base is.  I loaded it up with water and used my Fireworks inks in Bahama Blue & Bamboo.  

Do you see the white 'snowballs'?!

I used the circular shapes in the Cute Fruit set!

They've been stamped and heat embossed in white on top of the inky goodness.

I stamped the snowgirl and the sentiment on a vellum panel and heat embossed in black.  The girl has been colored with copics on the opposite side of the vellum.  

I tossed in some super sweet heart sequins that magically coordinated with the snowgirl!

Can you tell that I used gold thread to stitch on the vellum panel and create a fun shaker card?

Whaddya think?!

I'd love for you to pop over to the Paper Smooches blog to see my other card that I created...it's very much clean & crisp!

Thanks so much for stoppin' by!
