Since Toni suggested SNOW as a four-letter word in her write-up for the WTUI challenge, and since this is one of the images I coloured in bed, here's one last card from me. I'd stamped the image on kraft and coloured with Couleur d'Art pencils. Yesterday, before going to visit my aunt, I'd used the Glittered Stencilling tutorial to add the glitter snow. Today I simply trimmed it down and edged it with a black Sharpie. Added Stickles to his pom-pom, and die-cut a sentiment twice, black for shadow and silver to match the stencilling.

Oh my goodness, Sabrina, I love this image, and how you have colored it is truly wonderful, this personable snowman just leaps off the page and draws you in--what could be better!!! I just spent many weeks back on the east coast of Canada with family and there were lots of snow and ice storms, much more than we normally see here in southern Ontario, but I've been told that perhaps my sister (who is now visiting me, on a break from her position as school principal, so lovely to have her here) and I have brought snow and ice with us, since we've had some major winter storms here...
This card just has SO much personality and charm, I absolutely love how you have colored your snowman and your glitter details are wonderful! And that sweet little friend with the snowman--lovely! I need to check out Purple Onion stamps... I so appreciate learning from the artists I am so blessed to see such great artwork here on SCS, thank you, Sabrina! This card needs to be framed and placed in a position of honor.

So sweet Sabrina ... like Joanne said, we were buried in snow yesterday and today it is raining!! Geez Louise - so your card perfectly describes life where there is snow!

Sabrina, you did several wonderful cards as samples for today's challenge, but this one melted my heart(glad he is not melting). Love your snowman image and the way that you colored him. (If I colored in bed, I would have multi-colored bed linens) The sparkling snow is fabulous as is the glittered "snow". Outstanding card.

This is fantastic! I love the kraft background and sparkling snow dots. Coloring on kraft paper gives a really soft tone to everything. Purple onion has some really adorable images.. Never can have enough snowmen.
This card really pops.. Love every detail!
