This is another snowman for LSC181, but I combined him with today's inspiration challenge. At first my eye was drawn to the one-piece suit in the thumbnails - but when I looked I realised it wasn't black and white, it was green and white. I suppose I could have dropped the green and stuck with the flourishes, but the colours in this http://www.athleta.com/shopping/prod...ProductID=4470 reminded me of the Basic Grey Gyspsy papers, and I knew they'd work well with the snowman.
I stamped the image onto watercolour paper and coloured just the bird, buttons and scarf with H2Os. Then I layered it up onto some aqua card, then some cream card, and then some of the spiral Gypsy card. I cut a square of the floral Gypsy card just slightly smaller than my card blank and attached it. Then I stuck on my stamped image, and added Diamond Stickles all round the edges of the watercolour paper and the largest mount, and on the snowflakes.
I had cut some flower/flake pieces from the floral paper for decoration, but in the end by the time I had added four corners cut from the spiral swirl paper, that was all I needed - I went over them with the Stickles too.

Well this is gorgeous! Love the sparkle but now you've gone and burst my bubble... I thought they were black and white on that suit... that's what inspired me to make a black and white card! Ugh... another goof! LOL!

Oh Sabrina, I love how your mind works: your creativity is phenomenal, girl! I love your corner treatment and that paper is stellar. Add that adorable little guy, and you managed to create one heck of a great card for today's challenge~
