After printing my image out onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Arts and Lyra pencils before stippling Tim Holtz stormy sky and tumbled glass distress inks then layered it using scrap card stock I had set aside from another project. After adding some red brads, I set the image panel aside to work on the card base. My card is dry embossed using a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder, along with my Big Shot, before stippling more tumbled glass distress ink over the raised images. As an afterthought, I then stippled picket fence distress ink over the raised images to "age" then a bit with broken china is stippled around the edges of the card. I then stamped the "joy" in memento tuxedo black on a white scrap then punched it out using a retired Stampin Up oval punch before layering it on another punched blue scrap. That was then added to my card using pop up glue dots. The final touches were some white/silver bakers twine from my stash along with diamond ice stickles to highlight the snow.
