DP-DCWV the Winter Wonder Stack

Vellum

Embossing folder-Darice Snowflake folder

Glitter pen-Sakura Gelly Roll clear glitter pen

Snowflakes-Darice foam glitter snowflakes

Gem (on boot)-Darice birthstone gems (clear)

I added the clear glitter pen to the snowflakes on the embossed velum panel (it doesn't show well in the pictures), the glitter foam snowflakes, the gem on the boot and glitter on the DP (Brrrrrr & LET IT SNOW).

When I started coloring the image I didn't like the way it was turning out (I colored the face and hair 3 times).  Even when I was adding the shading on the paper piecing, I wasn't happy.  After I cut out the coat and hat and added it to the image with the rest of the coloring, I was happily surprised with how it looked. I popped up the image on homemade blue foam squares.

Now it's your turn to get your "Glitter" on. Hope you join us for the challenge.

Red, White and Blue 4 You

It's Friday again.  You know what that means.  Time for the next Sassy Studio Designs Facebook Flashback Friday image.
There's a NEW way to bring you your favorite FBF Images! So, starting today - the featured image for FBF will be available to you FOR FREE for 24 hours ONLY, and ONLY in this group!! That means that after 24 hours the image will be removed from the group and you will no longer be able to receive it for free. If you miss it - you can still purchase it in the store at regular price. If is not in the store than you will have to wait until it pops up again! This weeks image is Captain America.

I decides to keep with the Red, White and Blue theme.  I also figured out how to make a "twisted easel" card that is vertical.  I had always seen twisted easel cards but they were all either square or horizontal.  Here's a sketch of how to make it work.

You then just add a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece on the front adhering it only in the bottom triangle.

Here's what I made.
