yes, i promise to make a product-heavy card VERY SOON!

in the meantime, sorry if you're tired of my drawings and/or watercolor... clearly i'm "in a phase" lol! this particular card is for our brand new theme at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥, "frosty the snowman" for which we'd like to see (betcha can guess?) snow, in the form of snowmen (or women); or a snowy landscape; or even future snowpersons or landscapes... aka snowflakes. i went with the latter:

snowflakes drawn on strathmore watercolor paper with faber castell pitt pens in S and XS; watercolor background made with fuchsia, orchid and ultramarine color burst pigment powders; grey gems: eyelet outlet stickyback bling in three sizes; sakura metallic pens in silver, blue and pink; white and silver glitter + white organza ribbon: michaels; silver metallic paper from my stash; patterned paper: pink paislee; adhesives: elmers brand gluetape, 3m foam tape, sewing machine

i honestly thought the center panel would be kind of equivalent to patterned paper and then i'd add chipboard snowflakes or silk flowers --or both-- on top... as it turned out i just super-embellished the flakes with gorgeous eyelet outlet bling, glitter and metallic pen doodles and then added a little ribbon and a silverpaper frame.

stephanie has also made a super-cool (ok, sorry, but it had to be said, lol!) snow-centric card to inspire you, why not hop over to ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ and admire that right now?!
