Burst of Colors

Hello All! Today I have a creation to show which uses the NEW Snowman and Friend image by Lee Holland.  This sweet image was colored using watercolors (Altenew water colors). I stamped onto Canson XL 140lbs watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.. I almost always use the smoother backside of the paper to my stamping images on. The background panel on the left side was stamped with the NEW Cozy Blanket BG stamp and Seedless Preserves Distress Ink . The die cut trees are the NEW Snowy Trees Die Set . I've added Glitter Snow to the trees branches for an even more snowy effect. The sentiment is from the  You're My Jolly  sentiment set that was released last month. To embellish my card I used some Stickles Stardust Glitter Glue on the snow and added a button and two Sparkletz stars.  Here are the products I used:                                  ...
