Stampendous/Dreamweaver Thursday - Build-A-Snowman

Build A Snowman Perfectly Clear Stamps Set is Stampendous' winter buddies building kit.   Let’s get a jump on winter cards!  Where I live, winter is winter and we have lots of snow to make snowmen pretty much from December through February.  I love making snowman cards and totally love this stamp set!

Here's my whimsical card for today:

I'll start with the background that was one of the Creative Palette pieces from last week's project.  Here's a photo of the printed panel:

Just play with the Creative Palette, acrylic paints and brayer and layer it up and stamp the Grunge cling images right into the paint!  You literally never know what you'll get, which is why I love this palette so much.  

Once paper was dry, I cut down the half sheet panel to 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 and pasted the Snowflakes stencil with Glossy White paste.  While still wet, I sprinkled Crystal Glitter over the pasted areas and set it aside to dry.  This was a perfect background for my snowman family!

I stamped the snowmen with VersaMark ink and detail black embossing powder.  I heat embossed the images and fussy cut them out.  The left and right snowmen were mounted onto the center snowman with foam mounting tape and then the little trio was adhered to the card front panel.

Snow Buddies sentiment was stamped with VersaMark ink onto acetate and sprinkled with detail white embossing powder and then heat set.  A snowflake brad held it onto the card front.

The ribbon ruffle and pom pom trim finished the bottom section of the card.  I ran a basting stitch down the center of the ribbon and loosely gathered it and affixed it to the card front.  Pom poms were adhered at the center of the gathered stitching with Beacon Fabri-Tac.
