By now I think it is probably safe to upload this card as I think the Birthday girl should have received her card by now! A little Birdie told me she loves snowmen, so I had to get out one of my favorite Snowman stamps and work this up.
This is my first attempt with Copic markers. I asked my husband for a few for my Birthday to try them out. Oh my gosh I love them. I have a ways to go to get the technique down, but I love the vivid color you can get.
I glittered the had with a Martha Stewart called Marble Coarse for the hat and pom pom. I love that glitter for that as it gives it great texture. I used Snow Writer for the Texture on the snow banks and put some glitter on top of that. Then I stickled the whole Snowman. The snowflake is a spellbinders die that I glittered in both blue and white alternately. I used a doily for the background.
Thanks for looking today. I appreciate it. I hope to make some more of these snowmen as he is just so Jolly!

Maybe Nutzi ain't so Nutzi after all - I mean, I believe it is she who received this snowman delight! My gosh Carol, words cannot explain how much I love this. And, you used copics and quite well I might say. Every detail so beautiful and perfect. Oh, Bearzi, when will I grow up to be like you???? I predict 7.5 hours!! TFS!

Holy Moly, girl, this card is lite up like a Christmas Tree!
So you went and got yourself some copics did you? Looks like you dont need any practice from what I see. Your card is a hoot with all those bold colors. You're one heck of an amazing stamper, I'll admit to anyone that should ask.

How adorable! I do love what you did with this guy. The colors are so vivid. For a moment, I thought you had made this for me because I am such a snowman lover. LOL Of course, my birthday is June so I figured out pretty quick who this was for...I think. It is just the cutest ever!

Yea me - I am the lucky owner of this card right now. What she didn't show you is that inside is just as fun as the outside - in fact, when you open it up, both the top inside and the bottom are decorated with multiple layers and there is a pocket with an ornament inside it. It weighs like 8 lbs - seriously. I always thought that if you could see one of Bearzi's cards that it would look even better in person, but I am here to tell you that the camera doesn't begin to show you all the details of this card. It has so many cool things on it that it makes you drool.
Thanks Carol - this card is a true delight and I think you did an awesome job with your new Copics.

This is so cute! I started at the top of our pnz gallery this morning, making my comments round, and I saw your card listed as BRAK way up above. I know Nutzi loved it; it's so perfect for her.
