For the CCEE Stampers this week, Joanne is also asking us to get out our tools . We must have something heat embossed, have some paper piercing, paper piecing, AND some type of framing on this card/project.
I used Unity's Hey There Wise Guy; his scarf is pieced.
Sentiment and snowflakes from POD Holidoodles, Ithought it went well with the cosy scarf. I used the same paper for "joy" as for the scarf, cut it out and added Glossy Accents. Base layer - silver metallic pen scribbled on a white base, sponged over with Chipped Sapphire. Sentiment banner is pierced (Verve banner die), also used piercer in the corners of the frame. (Faux Wood frame tutorial : Faux Wood Frame Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
Frame was embossed with two coats of clear EP, and then had slight distressing added with gold pen.
Main layer: Cuttlebug snowflake ef, faux patina (Colorbox Ice Blue, then shabby shutters and milled lavender distress inks. I added Iridescent Ice and edged it with a silver pen.
In respect of Linda's challenge, trusty tools I use all the time are my scissors and scalpel for fussy cutting, and my big Shot. I reckon I use my heat gun several times a week, too.

This card is amazing with all the details...love the image, and with the tiny scarf paper pieced. Background is perfect for the winter scene. Thanks for making a sample for the challenge.
