Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland...

Today at Pals Paper Arts, we are hosting a theme challenge. Can you guess the theme? Winter, of course! Well Winter Wonderland to be exact. When I saw the name of the theme I couldn't help but start singing the song. "In the meadow we can build a snowman...". That was it. I had to make a snowman.

Here are some tips for this card:

• The snowman from Simple Seasonal Thanks is more versatile than you might think. I used a Basic Black marker to ink up the image. This allowed me to omit the writing inside.
• The entire backdrop "glistens" (click photo to enlarge). To create this look, I used a sticky page to cover a piece of Whisper White, cut it to size and covered it with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.
• The snowy hill was made using Whisper White Craft ink. More Dazzling Diamonds glitter was applied before it dried.
• After color was applied to the snowman using SU Markers, I covered the entire thing with Versamark and clear embossed it. 2 build-a-brads were used to create buttons.

Play along at PPA! If you have half as much fun as I do with glitter and snowy scenes, than you will LOVE this challenge!
