OCLDT38 - BELIEVE

TGIF!!!  The new sketch challenge starts today over at The Lounge.  Check out the details on their blog then use your favorite OCL stamp set and play along!  Did I mention you can win an OCL stamp set of your choice?  Yeah, baby!  I've been out visiting blogland again and found a bunch of challenges that I'm going to jumble all together to see what I come up with so here goes...

I started by turning the sketch on it's side.  The snowman and sentiment are from OCL's Be Jolly set.  They were stamped with Black Soot on Neenah Solar White CS then colored with Copics.  Hmmm...for an image that doesn't appear to have much coloring, dang I sure used an awful lot of markers!  OK...so I DID go a little overboard with my Cs...but I just got some new markers and I wanted to see how they all blended together.  Not too bad, huh?  My snowman and sentiment was cut out using Spellbinders dies and sponged with Baja Breeze while they were still in the die (Baja Breeze is a close match to BG10 which is one of my favs for coloring sky backgrounds).

All of the layers were ran through the Big Shot with Sizzix EFs then I tried Tex's double embossing technique which can be found here.  Wow!  Pics just doesn't do it justice!  Maybe it's the glitter on the white that isn't picking up, I don't know.  All I can tell you is that in real life...WOWSERS!  The snowflakes were cut with a Sizzix decorative strip, dabbed with VersaMark, sprinkled with my special concoction *wink* (Heat & Stick Powder and Iridescent Ice EP) then heat set with my heat tool.  I tried to tape everything down but it just wasn't sticking so I switched to glue.  That did the trick!  The wired ribbon and buttons were from my stash.  Oops...I almost forgot...I added some more sparkle to the snowman with Crafty Sparkles and the snow below the snowman is a combination of Sparkly Fluff and Flocking.  Some of the layers were popped up with Dimensionals.
