Instructions:
1. Prepare an A6 card blank from purple cardstock.
2. Trim a background panel from Snowflakes paper 1/16 inch smaller than the card base on each side. 3. Using Yule Diamonds and Holiday Words stamps add some stamping to the background panel with the Distress Inks.
4. Distress the edges with a paper distressing tool or scissors. Adhere the panel to the card base.
5. Stamp the Snow Queen image in black onto the Mixed Media Paper and colour in with the Chameleon markers. Fussy cut the Snow Queen and the big snowflake.
6. Adhere the cut - out images to the card over the 3D foam squares - varying the height of the elements.
7. Adhere a piece of cheese cloth along the bottom edge of the card as if the Snow Queen was behind it.
8. Using a small metal spatula randomly spread some DecoArt Snow-Tex over the cheese cloth and sprinkle with Micro Glitters. Allow to dry fully.
9. Tie a double bow from coordinating ribbon, embellish it with a pearl brad and attach to the card using DODZ™ - 3D.
10. Finish the card with Liquid Pearls and glitter pen accents.

Beautifully done! Wish my monitor displayed the glitter better. Such dreamy images and colors.
I also have a thing for fairies and Angels, and I can see you do as well! Can I ask where you got this beautiful image? I see you mention she is a cling image but I didn't see a company mentioned. You colored her, and indeed the whole card, beautifully. I like this color combo for winter as well, it has just the right amount of color to make things pop, but also adds an icy/winter feel to it all. I am having so much fun looking through your December posts and appreciate you giving us the extra entries for doing something so fun!

Stunning card...the colors are so soft and perfect...
The colour palette for this card is perfect for a Snow Queen and if it weren't for the lovely bow giving it a pop of colour, I would have had the shivers when I saw this card. Thanks for joining us at Frilly and Funkie.
Hugs!
