Let it snow with Perfect Distress

This is my card for the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge over at Studio L3... it's from Tim Holtz new Book - Compendium of Curiosities, which truly is an inspiration... Studio L3 has started this wonderful challenges based on Tim's book and this weeks challenge is on the pg 38 of of the book - Perfect Distress. if you want to know more about the technique.. hop over to Tim's Demo page or purchase the book on his web page.

On with the challenge, the background of the card is inked with Tim's distress inks - Tumbled glass... sprinkled with water and dried. then i used a snowflake stamp and did the perfect distress on it using Perfect pearl - turquoise. i cut out 2 snowflakes (i couldn't find anything that will go for the card, so i went DIY) , in one i spread glitter... and the other i first used a blue glitter stickler and then used a turquoise outliner to get the 3D effects. then i cut out wordings from making memories slice machine (words & expression chip) and glittered it using sticklers. then embellished with two nail heads for extra effect.
