Card Art with Copics: Elisabeth Bell's Frosty the Snowman

These sweet children are enjoying the latest snowfall while they build their very own snowman.  This incredibly cute digital image, designed by Elisabeth Bell, is named Frosty the Snowman.  You can find it at Elisabeth Bell's Digital Gallery here

This photo shows my Copic-filled version of this image.  I've added a bit of Marvy's white Liquid Applique to fluff up the little girl's hat and coat sleeves.






I've used my card scraps to make handmade Paper Whites (Christmas Flowers) to coordinate with my project.  I've painted the petals and leaves lightly with Diamond Stickles and added a drop of Yellow Stickles to each flower's center.






I've layered TPC Studio's Winter Whites Let it Snow and Winter Wonderland patterned paper with Bazzill cardstock. I'm thrilled to have found this magnificent icicle die by Marianne Design Creatables! I've been waiting for someone to come out with an easy way to make icicles!!! Jo-Ann's silver sparkly holiday ribbon provides a nice shiny bow in one corner. The Darice Charming Embellishments "Let It Snow Charms" have finally come to good use (I've had them for about 7 years!) - LOL!!! A Letterpress Cookie Cutter Snowman Kit provided me with the perfect hat to die cut from black sugar paper for amazing magical sparkle. My simple sentiment has also finally been put to good use as I've had my Stamping Sensations "Perfectly Said" stamp set for a very long time.

Here's the completed card front showing my version of Elisabeth Bell's digital image named Frosty the Snowman:
