Feeling blue

Had fun doing this card.  Stamped Outlines Rubber stamps snowman scene on glossy cardstock, embossed with white embossing powder then blended Ranger Distress faded jeans and weathered wood over the embossed image.  Next did one of my favorite techniques with distress inks.....drop water on it then blot dry for a faux bleach look.  Looks like big snowflakes....snowstorm!  Good on paper just not in person.....snowstorm that is.  lol!  Add white photo corners to finish off the card.  This is going to make a great winter birthday card for a friend.
entering this in the following challenge:
1.  Outlines Rubber Stamp blog - feeling blue
