Whoa!!! That'll wake ya up! I picked colors as I went along. Started with the silver puffy jacket and black jeans. Then wondered what 'accent' color to use for his scarf and boots. I opted for this yellowy-orange. I like it but WOW!! : ) And add the pop of hot pink on Mr. Snowman's top hat!!
Our sponsor for this challenge is StampInsanity Stamps and they generously provided us with 'Henry's Snowman', a digital image/sentiment to work with if we so chose. I definitely chose as it's unusual to be able to include the peace sign on winter cards... either in the two finger 'V' sign OR in the sentiment. I thought it was tons of fun. StampInsanity Stamps are available for purchase only at Stamp Happens. I hope you'll go take a look... lotsa fun!!
I've added a few specials you probably can't see very well in the pictures. I glittered up parts of the snowman and the snowflake. Last week when I was out in the snow with my dog, I looked around and noticed real snow does indeed looks glittery. I was just beautiful and I've decided I'll be including glitter on most of my snow pieces. : ) I also added white fluff to the snow on the ground... can't hardly see it but it's fun to touch!! I also used crystal effects on his winter boots making them more waterproof. : ) The snowflake is from a new MS punch I purchased. I love the design, but it's fragile as all get out. The longer parts kept falling off... just falling off! It took four tries to get one glued on without it tearing apart. ARGH!!!
Oh... I almost forgot!!! I used a few other challenges to help me out with my card:
1. Mojo Monday - GREAT sketch
2. Three Clovers Designs - Baby It's Cold Outside! (winter theme)
3. Everybody-Art-Challenge - Snowflakes

This is a fabulous winter card! The orange color provides warmth, right? I know what you mean about MS snowflakes--I smear them with Stickles for sparkle and to make them more durable! Thank you for a great Fussy and Fancy DT card, and for joining in our snowflake challenge at EAC!
