Building a Snowman - Technostamper 240

Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day, but today its cool and rainy - a good day to hibernate and make cards.
This card is made using the sketch with Technostamper here



Technique: The Gumball Green cardstock base is layered with Whisper White, then a smaller layer of Gumball Green.  Some Snow Festival designer paper is attached to that layer.
Image: I masked the parts of the stamp I did not wish to stamp with a post it note, inked up the stamp, removed the post it note and stamped in on a Whisper White circle.  The mat pack & paper piercer was used to pierce holes all the way around the circle.
To make the scallop circle, I punched 3 scallop oval punches in Gumball Green, cut them in half and applied them around the circle.
The image was colored using SU markers and an aqua painter.  Dazzling details was applied to the outline of the snowman and the fur of the boy's hat.  Silver glass glitter was added to the snow at the feet of the images.
This unit was applied to the card using dimensionals.

Stamps: Winter Memories, Many More Messages
Inks: Black Stazon, SU markers, Green Gumball
Papers: Gumball Green, Whisper White, Snow Festival Designer Paper
Accessories: Circle die #2, Scallop oval punch, Mat pack & paper piercer, Silver glass glitter, Dazzling details, 1/4" Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon
