CCC22 with Snowman

Alcohol Ink Splatter is one of my favorite techniques and it is this week's Compendium of Curiosities Challenge theme. (See p52) in Tim's book for the how-to. Since I wanted to use the snowman die with my card, I used somewhat lighter alcohol inks and silver for my metallic. Oops, more silver came out than was supposed to, but I really like how this turned out. Lucky accident! Another bit of luck was the theme for Created Byhand--Snowmen! I have every version of Tim's snowman. I think he's so cool.  The movers and shapers die (LOVE) really adds a great touch to my friend the snowman.

    Oh, cool, Barbara! What a brilliant way to use that new Movers and Shapers die! Your snowman is absolutely adorable, and looks so dapper with his top hat!

    You did a gorgeous job with the alcohol ink splatter, too, and made a great choice with your colors. The silver is just right, I think! This is such a happy card-- I love it!
