Jingle-balls!

Hello!

A few days ago we were up in the 80's.  For March that is very unusual, so I thought we needed something to cool us down.  Well it has worked, the high for today is around 55.  We are having some crazy March weather around us.  But very thankful for the warmer days that we can get outside and enjoy some sunshine.

I used the distressing technique on this card to give it an older feel.  All DP is by MME.  The snowflake was cut out on the cricut and then I used liquid applique and heated it with a heat gun.  After it puffed up, I airbrushed it with blue copics to match the card.  The white stood out entirely too much on a distressed card.  The image is by Whipper Snapper (Jingle-balls).  Isn't the little guys teeth on the right adorable?  Love it!  After coloring the cute little guys with copics, I went back and used flowersoft mixed with glitter for snow underneath them and on the hat of the right snowguy.





Copics used
