Let it snow ... let it snow ... let it snow!

Hi everyone.  It's Monday and time for the next Merry Monday Challenge! :)  Today it's a theme challenge :)

I just love this little guy from Bugaboo.  I printed him out a few times, fussy cut the whole image and then paper pieced his jacket, scarf, nose and an extra layer of his feet! :)  I ripped two layers of white card stock for the snow and added dazzling diamonds to the top for some shine (hard to see in photo - sorry about that!).  I also added some dazzling diamonds to the snowball he's holding ... looks like he's ready for a snowball fight!! :)

The background is Pool Party card stock ... I simply stamped two sizes of snowflake stamps randomly in Whisper White ink.  Then I loaded a toothbrush with water and Whisper White re-inker and splattered more "falling snow" over top.  I finished the card by adding a simple sentiment ... and some knotted twine with a snowflake die (also covered in dazzling diamonds).

I had so much fun making this card and I was smiling the whole time ... :)

Edited to Add:  I'm going to enter this in the Pixie's Crafty Snippets Playground #91 ... I used lots of little snippets for the paper piecing! :)
