This week's Jingle Belles prompt was suggested by Marie Bingaman of Another Cardmaking Blog?, who thought we could all find inspiration with a snowy theme in which we can incorporate snowmen, snowscapes, sledding, etc, as well as decorative snowflakes… basically ALL of those things celebrated in the (very charming!) rosemary clooney song Suzy Snowflake (see lyrics below).
I pulled out a vintage (2006) Northwoods Rubber Stamp image of snowflake ornaments & stamped in in Versamark on white glossy paper and then clear embossed. I used a sponge with blue and purple Distress inks to provide the resist, and then sprayed with Shimmer Spritz for all-over sparkle
The layout is September's Sassy Lil' Sketch. I added a wrap of cool blue ribbon, an SRM Sticker Sentiment, and a few silver snowflakes with pearl embellishments to finish the design.
This card also works for the NO Coloring Allowed Challenge at Shopping our Stash … love emboss resist.
Can't wait to see what snowy wonders you create.
Tap, tap, tappin' at your windowpane
To tell you she's in town.

If you want to make a snowman
