Eureka Stamps Challenge #173 - Snowman or Snowflake

Welcome to a new challenge at Eureka Stamps . This week we are asking that you use a snowman or snowflake  on your project. My card features: 27301 Snow Background 27502 Wonderful Counselor This clean and simple design uses a little mixed media background this week to showcase  the fun Snow Background digital image. I started by randomly sponging blue chalk. I then lightly applied metalic rub-on over several of the snowflakes, applied Stickles then sprayed the entire panel with Sheer Shimmer Mist by Tsukineko. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget  to check out all of the design team inspiration!
