Stay Frosty
A Muse Studio has a stamp set called seasonal branch which screamed "Buy Me!" from the pages of the catalog the minute I saw it. Why? because it is a bare branch that can be stamped at almost any angle (or even straight up and down, to be a sapling), and it comes with various small stamps with which to complete it, like leaves, blossoms, berries, and even snowflakes. It is the snowflake (3 snowflakes, actually) in particular that I needed for this card - most snowflake stamps are too big to scale with other images.
I first stamped it with embossing ink on watercolor paper, then used an iridescent powder to create my snowflakes. I then used a watercolor wash on the background. I like the irregular edge! The sentiment was diecut from a Tim Holtz alpha, and the penguin is an old sticker that I got in a pack from Michaels last year or maybe the year before. My 17yo liked it so much he asked to have it (and he has NEVER asked for one of my cards before!)
