This is a fun sketch. I had to choose the vertical layout because of my image.
All images, glitter and embossing powder areSparkle N Sprinkle. This card is so sparkly IRL, and I must have taken a few dozen pics, but I still couldn't get it all to really show up. I may try again tomorrow outside in the sun light.
The image was stamped a couple of times on white, water colored w/ markers and a water brush. I cut out the tree and some of the people closest to the front and layered them on the other image. I sponged the clouds using the stencil I made from Mothermark's directions. I sponged on some VersaMark for the snow and embossed w/ the shimmer ep. I added a few shadows w/ a gray marker.
The two blue strips were stamped w/ the snowflake using the UM silver ink and layered onto the red dp.
The sentiment was stamped by first inking w/ the VM then the cardinal ink and embossing w/ the shimmer ep. I used the oval nestie on it and the red dp layer.
The star/snowflake was done w/ cb snowflake die and also a snowflake punch. I sponged a little of the baby blue ink on some then dotted w/ the glue pen and added the glitter. They are layered (some w/ foam tape) together. A piece of blue dp was attached to the front of a 5 x 7 card then all the layers were assembled on top. TFL

What a lovely card. I bet in IRL it'd be hard to take your eyes off of it with all the sparkly and all. Your details helpful. TFS both card and details.
