Whimsy Inspiration Challenge - Challenge #90

Hi Everyone!

Today I'd like to share with you my Whimsy Inspiration Challenge card!
The Whimsy Inspiration Challenge theme for February is

"Anything Goes"!  

My card today features the sweet 'Jenny' from Wee Stamps. I have also used the 'Layered Snowflake Dies' and 'Girl Talk' sentiments, both are also available at Whimsy Stamps.

For this card I decided to make another Snow Globe card on my Silhouette Portrait, but this time wanted to have a different background so that the image pops a bit more. I  used a digital paper from the Sweet Shoppe Designs 'Believe in Magic - Ice Magic' digital kit.

 

The image is stamped with Momento Tuxedo ink, coloured with Copic markers, then fussy cut, and added to the centre of the card.

I used Fun Flock to give her a fluffy coat, and added Stickles for some sparkly snowflakes, and finished with a few pearls.
