Happy first work day of 2012 and welcome to the first Tuesday Throwdown challenge of 2012. Our challenge this week is sponsored by Robyn's Fetish, and they supplied all the digital stamps used by the DT. Our theme is "Shiny New Year" and we want to see something shiny on your projects this week. If you use as much shine as I did, you might have a problem getting your project to photograph. I've never taken so many shots of one card trying to get the one shot without backflash glare! LOL
I used a sketch from My Time Made Easy.
Doesn't this snowman cone look ready for a party? He could be Christmas or New Year, or even a birthday, as long as he gets to the party! Ice Cream (the snowman kind or not) seems to always be a necessity for parties and celebrations of all kinds!
I colored the image with Copics and added Glossy Accents to the 'snowman' part of the ice cream cone. That's where the problems started with trying to photograph the card. Here's a closeup to show you how really shiny it is IRL. You can see the photography problems it would cause. :-D
The dp came from the new DCWV stack which Santa brought me for Christmas. Love all the snowflakes in those papers! I fussy cut the image and matted it with black CS. Each dp is also matted with black. I added the ribbon, the bow, and the shiny pearls as embellishments, all from my stash.

2 Sisters -- Winter colors (purple, blue, white, or silver combos)
