I used white glossy cardstock, swiped with the anti-static pad and embossed the flourish with White Detail EP. I sponged on 4 colors of ink for a blustery look. I used Tidal Wave, Aquamarine, Nassau Blue Shades Die inks and Faded Jeans Distress Ink. I swiped over the panel when done to remove any ink from the white embossing.
I had fun using a Globecraft Piccolo snowman, and embossed it using Aged White, Brownstone and Vintage Black Enamel EP. I also used the Aged White EP on snowflakes. I dabbed on a touch of Orange Copic marker through the back around the nose.
The ribbon is Stampin Up.
There is a shimmer in the Embossing Powder that cannot be captured in a picture- just love it!

Wowza, do I love this card. The swirls, the blue, the snowman, the ribbon. All make a terrific card.
Ah Shelley you had lots of inky fun here....using some DI hadn't heard of...nothing new there can't keep up so don't bother trying. Great effective card. TFS.

Beautiful Shelly! That background is amazing with all the blended blues and those fabulous swirls! It reminds me of a scene from an old animated Christmas special on TV, when they actually drew the wind with these swirlies through the sky! Love your frantage snowman! until next time, big hugs :)

Hi Shelly, thanks so much for your comment, but I have no idea what A.O means in regards to a link-up?? hugs :)
Hi, Shelly! What a delightfully "brrrr-cold" card! I had forgotten about using white EP on white glossy, and the way you have blended the blue inks on it looks beautiful! So full of blustery movement, it makes me cold thinking about it even down in Florida! Love your sparkly snowman, too! I am your newest bloglovin' follower! hugs, de
Shelly, it looks like snow swirling in the background!!! VERY pretty and love the colors you used for the sponging. The snowman is adorable too!!!
