I Have The Whole World

A very special friend of mine is getting married this weekend. I made this card for him with a gift card inside. The idea is having a snowman who feels lots of warmth and happiness. Loves fall from the sky and he caught many.

I used distress ink blending with gathered twigs, fired brick, abandoned coral, and spun sugar for the background. I watercolored the snowman and hearts. Finally I used Tsukineko sparkle spritz to add shimmer to the card and frosted lace stickles/shaved ice for the snow underneath the snowman. I never add so much sparkle to my cards, but this one I really wanted it to shine for the wedding.


 


This is my very first version of the card. It has a lots of noises in the background and does give the feel of "miracle". So I ended up trashing it (well, my 3-year-old toddler spotted it and wanted it = trashing it).



I'm submitting this card to the following challenges.
