I am ink and glitter up to my eyeballs but I had so much fun putting this one together. This one is pretty CAS for me but I am very happy with how it turned out.
After colouring my stamp with alcohol markers I gave my manicure scissors a run for their money and fussy cut it. The background was creating blending two different shades of blue and some coloured "snow". I used a border embossing folder to create my edge on the second piece of white and added some sparkly gumdrops to finish it off.
