I used my only Oxford Impressions "Christmas" set - WINTER SNOW. I collaged all the smaller stamps in the set as the background and used a Technique Junkies method called Burnished Backgrounds. The background color is a mix of Distressed inks. I stamped the boy on glossy white with Archival ink and heat set it. Then I tore a strip of white card stock and misted with Glimmer Mist. The Marshmallow spray gave the paper a real SPARKLE. But it also needed some Stickles along the edges (wink). Doesn't his expression say - "I just shoveled all this snow and here's another flake..." ??
Finally, I did a crystal snowflake at the embellishment.Stamps: Oxford Impressions WINTER SNOW
Paper: white and glossy white
Ink: Distress Ink: FADED JEANS, BROKEN CHINA, WEATHERED WOOD; Archival Ink

Gorgeous card, Deb -- definitely worthy of a win! The background is such a perfect collage of images, the focal point image is too funny, and that snowflake is beautiful!! Great sketch, too.

Wow, I can see why this was picked as a winner! It's awesome! (I wonder if the Marshmallow Glimmer Mist is anything like the Pearl. I just used some of that and it rocks!)
