Day 5 at Beccy's Place Month of Holiday cards has the letter E as our prompt.
I have chosen Embossing paste which is the snow on my image.
Snowman Heart Cupcake is a digital image from Limited Runs. This was coloured in November last year and I made a digital card with it for a DT project. I had put it to one side and forgotten about it until now.
The image has been coloured with Promarkers. The starry sky background was added using a technique I learned from one of Beccy's tutorials where you create a halo like effect around a star by layering different shades of blue down. I the added gel pen stars, stickles glitter glue and a clear sparkle pen overlay.
The embossing paste has been used to make the snowlike frosting on the top of the cupcake and snow on the bottom. Blue stickles has been used on the 2nd layer of frosting and clear stickles on the bottom. I cut the image out and used a distressing tool to roughen the edges of this and the blue mat.
I used sketch 531 from Try Stamping on Tuesday for the layout.
The card has been covered with a pale blue patterned paper. I then added a strip of white card which has been treated with a Fiskars border punch. To this I added an offcut of snowflake vellum.
I added a foiled sentiment from Hunkydory, a bow made with an offcut of ribbon and some super sparkly snowflake stickers from The Works
