Stamp Tree and Snowflakes in Smoke Ink and Sentiment in Taffy
I placed my snowmen on the card front temporarily so I could see where I wanted the trees and sentiment positioned.
Pop up the snowmen with foam tape, attach to the card front and adhere jewels to accent the sentiment
Here's a close-up of the AFTER with the snowmen and the pearls. :-)
Add touches of Stickles to the trees and grey snowflakes to give a little winter frost.

Let's make it Lovelies!
Apply Glitz Glitter Gel through the stencil on white cardstock
On of the things I love about the Glitz Glitter Gel is that it drys so quickly that you hardly have any waiting time! So be sure to give your stencil a bath immediately after you are done applying the gel to the cardstock.
I had an owwie on one of my fingers, so I used a wet rag to clean my stencil than fully immersing it into water.
Die-cut the stenciled card front
Pop-up the oval, snowman and gifts with foam tape
Stamp and die-cut the sentiments on white and smoke cardstock in Surf ink
Layer the embossed card layer onto the card base, adhere the stenciled layer, snowman and gifts
Adhere the sentiments and jewels as shown
All this texture makes me happy!
And I a pop of color makes everything better!
And we are done Lovelies!!!
