Tim's 12 tags of 2015, October, Jane's Journal style

Wow here we are at No 10 of Tim's 12 tags of 2015. I must be very honest here that his tag for this month really had me foxed. I am not heavily into Halloween and would not be buying any of the 3D Halloween dies he used.

Below is Tim's creation and the details of how he made it are over on his blog here

So I spent a few days racking my creative brain and then had a light bulb moment...I would create a 3D effect by decoupaging (is that a verb?) one of his dies.

I decided to use a lovely framelits snowman die and stamp set that I bought last year. My son loves snowmen and I think this may well be his Christmas card so shhh, keep this a secret.

I stamped and cut it outseveral times and then cut parts out that I could layer up

 I coloured some of the layers even though they would be underneath in case they were visible.

I used Pinflair glue to keep the depth of the layers as I put them together

 I even die cut his hat in black and added a ribbon

and of course plenty of glitter.

Here he is fully "decoupaged!" Well hello Mr Frosty

I then decided that he needed a snowy background and so I use Tim's snowflake stencil and some glitter medium to create a sky on black card.

I die cut using a mixed media thinlet  the ground and added lots of snowtex and glitter for sparkle. I added gems to the eyes and the holly corner die cut.

Below is my completed card. My holly corner is Cheery Lynn and the tags are LOTV.

 I even decoupaged his carrot nose and the black gems gave his eyes more dimension

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;
