I thought I'd go monochrome which I haven't done in forever. The white panel was originally left white but I thought it was too bright so I did something like the smooshing technique, using a copic refill and alcohol. I put drops of color and drops of alcohol on acetate, and since it was so runny, instead of flipping the acetate onto the cardstock, I flipped the cardstock onto the acetate in the areas I wanted color - clear as mud? Either way, I was happy with the outcome.
I added lots of glossy goodness to the snowball but left everything else rather plain. The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin kit. Oh, and this cute Bugaboo Image is Sunbonnet Winter.
Thanks for taking a peek and have a wonderful week.
This meets the following challenges: Sweet Stampin Christmas: Anything Goes Christmas, Sisterhood of Crafters: Use Stitched Dies, Crafty Sentiments Designs: Anything Goes, The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge: Anything Christmas goes, and Always Fun Challenges: Anything Goes.
