Marshmallow Snowman

Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing my Bugaboo GDT card with a sweet marshmallow snowman - he's this week's freebie, so head over to the Bugaboo store if you want to fetch him!

For my card layout I was inspired by the sketch over at Technostamper. It allowed me to use a scrap piece of striped paper. The image is colored with Promarkers,  I used light blue chalk for the background, white frantage for the snow and 3 sequins from my stash for a little sparkle. And the candy cane has a generous amount of glossy accent added to it. I used red and white string and  a tag which I made using a LOTV stamp.

This card is also for these challenges:
1) Technostamper's Monday Lunch Time Sketch Challenge - Sketch
2) C.R.A.F.T. - #284 Winter
3) Incy Wincy Designs - Inspired by a Song, Book or Movie (Frosty the Snowman)

    The gloss on the candy and the frantage snow and the blue chalk in the background...AWESOME!! Your layout is just fabulous and I love the bow with the tag sending the sentiment. It's a present on a card!
    Happy weekend to you too.

    Images don't get much cuter than that, but you always manage to plump them up to their fullest potential, Pia! Love the pp, the double bow, the wee tag, the bit of snow, etc., etc.! You amaze me every single time!! Hugs, Darnell
