Snow fight at night (and some winter love too) heehee

Sorry I'm late today....feeling run down this week.
Hope to be back to regular schedule soon! :o)

These speedy baskets are for the Fourth Friday Challenge at Paper Garden Projects:

Hope you can join us!

The challenge this month is to use background stamps (love 'em!)
and to use black too, if you'd like an extra chance to win--
(since it is Black Friday, after all.)

You can read all the details &
all about the prize here.

These snow men are from the

Let it Snow (clear set) here

& these two background stamps here:

Cover-a-card Tapestry 1 Background
(cling mounted stamp):


Swirl Background
(Cling Mounted stamp):

• Black cardstock
• Neenah White cardstock
• metallic turquoise pigment ink
• Versamark & white pigment ink
• Clear embossing powder & heat gun
• Copic markers
• Copic Spica clear glitter pen
• White Souffle pen
• Tombow Monomulti
• Oh so sticky tape
• Svarovski crystals
  

Step 1) Stamp & emboss snowmen (these are done in a metallic turquoise pigment ink with clear embossing powder.)



Step 2) Cut out & colour with Copic markers. Add Spica glitter pen to make the snow sparkle.



Step 3) Print & cut the label box template & trace it onto black cardstock. Cut & score the box.
You can find label box templates in this post here.



Step 4) To make swirly night skies: Cover the background stamps with Versamark & then White Pigment ink. Stamp onto the box & sprinkle on clear embossing powder. Use a heat gun to melt it.



Step 5) Adhere snowmen to the box & glue on some Swarovski crystals (or some other embellishment) for snow.



Step 6) Assemble boxes and add handles (made using the scraps from cutting out the box templates & heat embossed with background stamps the same way as the boxes.) Add white stitches with a Souffle pen, if you like.
