Snowman Selfie

My snow man seems to be in a winter storm with the texture paste and the infusion powders, the weather looks looks pretty gloomy behind him.
I die cut the frame using a Simon Says Stamp Merry Christmas frame and inlaid some of the sentiment in black so it would stand out.


The texture paste adds a lot of dimension and accentuates the powdered inks as they pool around the edges,

Your snowman is very cute :-) It looks great on this amazing background. I love this restless background. Partial incrustation of sentiment gave a perfect effect. I also love the sunny winter sky,
  on which background you took a picture :-) Dazzling card, Christine.

The weather might look very gloomy behind your snowman, but he looks pretty happy in his beautifully coloured winter clothes and his pile of snowballs. Love the way you framed it with the sentiment frame.
