Still Winter, Wish It Was Spring

Hello!  Back again.  Today's card will be entered into 2 Challenges, Stamp TV's MIUM, Is It Spring Or Winter--use Spring colors to make a Winter card, and My Favorite Things, Sketch Challenge.

 
 
Such a fun little card to make, once I figured out WHAT to do.  This STV Challenge stumped me for several days!  I think using the MFT Sketch helped me immensely! 
 
The stamps are from the Let It Snow set, available from Gina K Designs.   The card base is GKD Pure Luxury, Bubble Gum Pink and the Designer Paper is from My Mind's Eye, Love Me.  I colored the image using Copic Markers, and then fussy cut it out.  Spellbinders Classic Circle die for the pink background that is embossed with a Darice Folder, Snowflake Swirl, all mounted on a white doily.  I heat embossed the sentiment on a strip of snowflake vellum.  I then used several colors of Stickles for the snowman, tie, hat band and broom.  It really sparkles and shines.  :)  The great thing about this card is that it will not need extra postage--YAY!  That hardly happens in my house.  lol
 
Thanks so much for stopping by!
 
Enjoy~~

I have seen this a lot lately and am definitely gonna be using that technique. Love the pink embossed greeting too. And all that sparkle, PLUS the doily?? Totally awesome!!!!!

  4. What a cute card! Everything about it is so clever: the snowman on the doily, the sentiment on velum,the snow flake embossed background, and the gingham background. It may have a winter scene on the card but it gives off a lot of warmth. :)
