Tombow Dual Markers in 947, 969, 912, 847, 977, 873, 451, 493, 443 and 879

Watercolor Paper

Brush (I used the water reservoir style)

Heat Tool

Balger Cord

Large Needle

Thick Foam (like kids' craft foam)

Scissors

Prismacolor Pencils in Non Photo Blue, Cool Grey 90%, Dark Brown, Rose Deco

Directions:

1. Stamp both images with Versamark on watercolor paper. Stamp the Snowflake image twice next to each other.

2. Cover with White Pearl Embossing Powder and shake off the excess.

3. Use the Embossing Heat Tool to emboss the background.

4. Color both images with Tombow markers and the brush. I colored on the blending palette and picked up the color and painted with my water brush. Let dry.

5. Cut around the snow queen image with scissors.

6. Adhere the snow queen to the background.

7. Place the project on the foam and use the needle to poke holes in swirl shapes coming from her hand.

8. Backstitch with the Balger cord into all of the holes, sewing down the buttons wherever you want them.

9. Enhance the snow queen image by coloring over some of the water colored muscles with colored pencils. Color around the snow queen image cut out with non-photo blue.

10. Assemble the card, placing shanked buttons over the May Arts ribbon.

11. Add rhinestones.
