"Happy Winter" and "Snowflake Trio" by A Muse Art Stamps; Reproduction Christmas Ephemera from Seasonal Booklet by www.craftysecrets.com ; Palette Hybrid Ink in Burnt Umber; Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink in Alabaster; Inkjet Transparency by HammerMill; Kraft Card Stock by Stampin' Up!; Brown Gingham by May Arts; Antique Copper Mini Brads by Creative Impressions; Tiny Tags Sizzlit Die by Sizzix; Jump Ring (for securing tag to ribbon)
My kids didn't like this li'l snow guy, but I think he's kinda cute! I thought it would be fun to cut some transparency in a larger panel, and DTP the chalk ink to the edges of the "toothy" side, and then overstamp with the snowflakes. Flipping it over protects the stamping quite well, and enables the shiny side to be faced out. I didn't want to spend too much time thinking about how to secure the transparency in some fancy way, so I just did it with mini brads, which I liked for their warm coppery look. I sponged the edges of the card with more chalk ink--a technique I picked up from good buddy, and very talented stamper, Pinefeather
