Topiary Tree turned Snowman! Oh My!

HI all! Hope you're having an awesome morning!

I'm back, today, to tell you all about the new challenge going on, now, at C is For Challenge. The theme, this time is "Winter Is Coming."  Uggh I hate to even think about Winter, but unfortunately, we have no choice, at least here in the states!  It's been sooo cold and today we are supposed to get snow here in Ohio! Blah, Yucky! I hate hate hate snow! I think snow is evil! LOL!

Anyway, let me stop rambling and get back to the challenge details.  As always the challenge at C is For Challenge runs for two weeks, so that gives you plenty of time to play along! We're being sponsored, this challenge, by Scribbles Designs, too, so that means a chance for you to win an awesome prize! Want to win and feel like creating a winter project? Then come play along with us at C Is For Challenge.

For my card today, I made a sparkly winter card. This is my second project as guest designer for C Is For Challenge and I'm having so much fun joining in with thier challenges! I've used the image Snow Cap Topiary, by Scribbles Designs, colored with Promarkers. As soon as I seen this image, I immediately thought it may look cute, turned into a snowman - So that's what I did! It was fun to transform the image and I think it turned out so cute! What do you think?! I used two gems as eyes to make he topiary into a snowman. I used an orange Promarker to draw on the nose, and a fine tip black Promarker to draw his smile.  Three more gems were used to make buttons on his middle. A clearstar gelly roll pen was used to ass glitter and sparkle to the snow on each layers of the topiary tree, as well as to the ribbon around the base of the pot. All papers are from my stash. I used a handmade ribbon bow and three blue gemstones to embellish the card and add the finishing touches. The sentiment is hand stamped, with a stamp by Taylored Expressions, and punched with circle punches
