Winter's Miracle (sentiment)
Speckle Background

First I stamped Snowman Jack and coloured with Copic Markers, I also stamped another head, coloured and cut out his Hat, I also stamped him again on snowflake patterned paper and cut out the scarf to paper piece later.

I stamped the Speckle Background around the image using Versamark Ink and heat embossed using Snowflake Tinsel embossing powder.

I trimmed the Backing Paper to a few mm shorter than the Cardbase same paper as the scarf. Matt & Layering is with brown Mirror Board from Creata.

After Fixing all the pieces together I then attached the Hat & Scarf pieces with Pinflair Glue Gel. I Cosmic Twinkles Glitter Glue as highlights to the snow at the base of the Snowman xx
