Pin It

HELLO!!
Welcome to the FIRST NEW Challenge of the New Year with Paper Smooches!! I'm SO EXCITED to be one of the Paper Smooches Challenge Design Team Members and the first Challenge is "ANYTHING COLD"!!

I started by Stamping and Embossing the SWEET Penguin, Bird ant Snow Hat Images from the Chilly Chums Stamp Set using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I used Copic Markers to color them in!! (Penguin: N2, N4, R00, YR00, YR02 & YR68 Hat: V0, V15 & V09 Bird: G00, G02, R00, YR00 & YR68)
I Die Cut Snowflakes using the Snowflakes Dies!! The Lager Snowfake was Die Cut from some Pearlized Vellum and the Small Snowflakes were Die Cut from some Glitter Cardstock!! I wanted to create a Background so I Die Cut a Circle and used the Negative for a Stencil and Inked with both Broken China and Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Inks!! I also used and Ink Dauber to Ink behind where the Layered Snowflakes would go to help make them POP against the White Background!! It also helps with creating the Visual Triangle!!

I added some Water Splatters and some Picket Fence Distress Paint for even more Texture and to help with the Snowy feel!! Then I Die Cut the Warn Wishes Die 4 times from White Cardstock and once from the same Glitter Cardstock and layered them altogether!! I used Zots Adhesive Dots to adhere the Snowflakes and added some Studio Katia Iridescent Gems to the center of each Snowflake!! Then I adhered the Penguin and Bird with some 3D Foam Squares and the Warm Wishes with some Liquid Glue!! I added some Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops in Morning Dew to the Beaks and Feet and some Blizzard Glitter Drops to the Hat Brim and Pom Pom!! White Gel pen was added to the cheeks and Black Glaze pen was added for the Eyes!! I LOVE the way it turned out!!
