My Besties Bottlecap printable release- Winter wonderland

I was invited by my a new My Besties friend, Chantale, from Quebec Canada to create something with a My Besties printable Bottlecap release for a Challenge at the My Besties French Challenge Blog here. 

I have chosen to make a Winter wonderland card using this super cute My Besties bottlecap! My Besties Bottlecap printables can be found here.

Here is a close up of the bottlecap image:

What are some of the dies i have used:
White doily, cream doily and birdcage- Memory box or Poppy Stamps
Snowflake not sure anymore.
Pine ferns might be Doo Hickey or Memory Box.

I have used Mod Podge Dimensional Magic and Stampendous glitter and a gem inside of my bottle cap.  Snow covered flowers and glitter flowers are from Petaloo. The white flower in the center is from Michaels bargain bins.

I made the Clay/foam frame around the bottlecap using a Crayola Air dry clay that dries quickly using a silicone frame mold.

Challenges:

Digital Delights and Snowball Andy!

This little cutie at Digital Delights is so cute..and he has a sister named Sarah.  He is called, Snowball Andy.  I also used the Background Window set (it comes with 3 windows and designs).  This design didn't have a scene so i thought i'd use it as an embellishment.  I cut out each pane and lined the back with pattern paper. (my tip for cutting out he panes, is to hole punch first and then cut out..or if you are really good with a x-acto art knife and metal ruler like my daughter is..that would be quicker)

Here is the card i made for the Digital Delights Blog: (next week i will be using Snowball Sarah, Andy's sister!)

Snow Mail/ Special Delivery!

I have to tell you this story.  When i first started card making, i educated myself on how to color w/copics with two friends..we encouraged each other.  That lead to purchasing digital images which lead to my first Design Team commitment with Digi My World.  That commitment lead to another Design Team (that no longer exists) ...stay with me...that lead to Card Crafter's Circle DT...trust me i am getting to my point.. :0)  On that DT i was honored to work with many sponsors images and one of them happened to be Stamp Art by Kathryne.  Let me say, that she is one of the most kindest, talented and generous people out there.


So my point, I was asked to Guest Design for this month and January for Stamp Art by Kathryne and i am so honored to be asked. Thank you Kathryne!

Stamp Art by Kathryne's blog is here.

Here is the cute image i got to work with..This image is called Snow Mail and you can find it by clicking Here.

 I am trying to keep with the mail theme, so i used my Spellbinders "stamp" die.  I've also used Cheery Lynn's snowflake die set..you get all of these snowflakes and 4 more on one die.

I am still learning the chunky enamel embossing technique, but this time with a twist, i used Stampin Up embossing folder..i think it is called "lattice"..and i am not sure if it is still available..but there are others out there that would accomplish the same effect.

The pinecones came in a bundle at Michaels with the red berries.

Copics used:
snowman- W1, 3, R0000, CB
hat- YG03, 17, 67, R35, 37, 39
scarf- BG11, 13, 18

bird- R20, 22, 24, BG11, 13, 18
noses-YR12, 04
hat fur/pompom- C0, 01, CB

I used Stickles/diamond for the fur, Extreme Glitter Paint/hologram for the snowman/snow.
