Tuesday Morning Sketches #211 - Clearly Digital Stamps!

Happy Tuesday :) This week at Tuesday Morning Sketches we're being sponsored by Clearly Digi Stamps, and do they ever have a great selection! No one will notice if I keep entering, will they? :)

Looking through my CDS collection I decided to go with this Snow Tweet Blue collection, using not only the pre-coloured image but also the matching digital papers. Before I forget - it's twist week, and that means that you need to use the twist of "Buttons Or Bows" along with the sketch. I nearly forgot myself!


Supplies: Snow Tweet Blue, Clearly Digi Stamps; snowflake & gem brads from stash; Denim Timeless Twine; Sakura Clear Glaze and Stardust pens; Bow Easy 

A close up of the Glaze & sparkle 
I printed 2 copies of the snowman so that I could pop one up for dimension - I tore along the edge of the snow, and added glaze pen to the buttons, eyes, and nose. I used the Stardust pen along the shaded areas of the snow, and smudged with my finger to give it a softer glittery glow.

True crafty confessions time: I forgot about the twist when I remembered that I had these snowflake brads. I got focused on the brads (instead of using buttons for those elements, which would have been perfect!) and I'd already attached all the layers of patterned paper - what to do?? The loopy bow was a last-minute addition, and luckily I love how it looks. Twist saved! lol

Here's the sketch, courtesy of Laura:
