Cute Winter Tic Tac Treat

So...these tic tac treats are ADORABLE!! I don't want to give them away...they're too cute to share, lol! I had so much fun using the blends to color these little winter cuties. I colored them with my sister and I in mind. She's on the right and I'm on the left. I can't wait to show these to her. I know she's going to love them! Who would've thought Tic Tac's could make such cute little treats?!

Helpful Tips:

• I embossed a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Hexagon Dynamic Impressions embossing folder (for an igloo effect) and die cut the cardstock using one of the layering circle framelits. This adds some fun texture behind each little snow girl.
• I used the Ivory and Bronze Stampin' Blends to create natural skin tones of each girl. The Color Lifter helps you get the exact shade you're wanting.
• It's difficult to see in the pictures but I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the furry bits on each girls outfit. These snow girls needed some sparkle! :)

Helpful Tips:

• Rotate your stamp at different angles when creating your snowflake layer. This will give your background a more random look.
• Dress up your envelope with a little stamping and washi tape.
