OK, without hot summers! LOLOL!
In the meantime, I played along with Tim again today and here's my version.
BUT....here's what I did differently:
Instead of using white crackle paint for the snowman (which I made from 3 circle dies - so easy!) - I painted my chipboard white, then spread crackle accents on it with my finger, then heated that When you heat crackle, it bubbles up and really makes such a cool texture! Then I painted white acrylic paint over that. A completely different look!
I used stickles for the arms and hats. For the eyes, I just used a sharpie pen and then put dots of glossy accents on top of that.
And finally, I made my snow mixing Franklin & Abalone Opals with Diamond Dust and Glossy Accents. Put that all down and then drizzled glossy accents over it.I wanted the look of melting snow...since you just never know what the weather is going to be like around here!
And the snowflakes stamped on the background are from After Midnight Stamps.
Sorry, I didn't have grungeboard, or white UTEE or....or....or....so I just reinvented the wheel using what I had. And since I'm doing mine all on ATCs....I have to downsize as well! Have to admit...I LOVE the snow!

I love your snow too! Great technique.
I keep telling you, Jen, you live on the wrong side of the mountain. 51 degrees, partly cloudy, generally a nice day :o))
That's a neat tip about heating the crackle! Love your ATC!
