Flurries of Happiness

Hi Crafty Friends,
Are you ready for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp? Challenge #132 theme is Make Your Own Background! I decided to make a snowy scene using three techniques to create my background. First, I used Distress Oxides and Copic Opaque Splatters, then I added white embossing paste with a stencil for texture and lastly, I cut up the YNS Snowflake Border Die and placed them on my card with red gems in the middle. I used the CUTEST little snowman set from Your Next Stamp called Flurry of Happiness. Details on how to enter below!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What brings you Flurries of Happiness?
A: Me? Watching my niece play imagination games in her playroom.

  3. Love the background you created for your scene, and the snowmen are just adorable!
    Coco, my Siamese cat, coming in to sleep with me brings me flurries of happiness! She has not been sleeping on the bed for the last couple of months, preferring to sleep in the living room or office. All of a sudden, she's back to coming up on the bed at night.

  13. Awww, those little snowkids are so cute! One of them looks kind of like a jelly bean..and made me giggle. My little 1 year old grandson brings me flurries of happiness. He's one of the most engaging and happiest kids I've ever known and you can't help but smile around him.

  14. What a cute Winter scene and I love the background and the snowman family. The snowflakes are a nice decorative touch. What bring me flurries of happiness is when animals and people in distress get rescued.
