The brads were dipped into the same pretty Mediterranean Star embossing powder as the frame.
To customize the "snowy" background, I used the same ink as the sentiment on an embossing folder:
All Done! It's quite sparkly in person:

BOO BOO TIME
Having watercolored with this technique frequently, I was surprised at a huge boo-boo this card ended up having. Where the "crack and peel" portion of the sticker paper had been, some watercolor puddled there, leaving a visible line:

After waiting overnight, and the line not disappearing, I tried fixing it by hiding part, and adhering the other part. You can still see it a little bit when the light hits just "so":

What a stunning creation Donna. Your process is amazing and i think you 'saved' it perfectly. A very clever fix with the sentiment detracting perfectly. I didn't notice it at all until you said! Gorgeous creation hun. Hugs, Wends xoxo
Hi Donna, That is a lovely card and I really like the quote.
Glad you are having nice spring weather. We are in a cold snap and have had more rain. Sue
Hi Donna this is a stunning card it is gorgeous. I do love seeing your photos. Take care. Hugs Jackie
What a gorgeous card, Donna. And I love this stamping on glitter technique. Kisses, my dear friend.
Love this sparkly monochrome beauty and the boo boo wasn't obvious to me until you mentioned it!! Such a beautiful morning photograph xx
Glitter is good Donna and works especially well with blue and has made for such a delightful creation.

Stunning card Donna, the stamping on glitter technique looks so lovely, I have tried it on pre glittered card but not on 'real' glitter! Thanks for the 'how to' tip! Love the colour you have chosen too, so pretty!
Your 'morning' photograph is magical!!
Have a happy day!

Gorgeous card, the glitter is stunning and your tutorial is fabulous, I will be trying this!
Absolutely gorgeous Donna, beautifully designed and glittered, I love the blue colour ,it has a lovely vintage style too.
Beautiful photo, I love to hear the birds singing in the morning too, something magical about it, Kate x x
Wow, Donna, this is so sparkly and beautiful! I love it! Such a peaceful scene and lovely sentiment too! Your weather looks so nice - we had over 6" of snow yesterday!
Beautiful winter scene Donna! I love all the sparkles and that beautiful blue! I would never have noticed the boo if you hadn't mentioned it, but you covered up beautifully! Sometimes mistakes turn out to be great! Love those kind of surprises!!
Donna that is so very beautiful and sure looks like a wintery day...much like I am seeing outside my window right now. The colors and glittery look is perfect.
I know this has to be fantastically sparkly in real life! It looks pretty WOW on my screen, and I really wouldn't have noticed your boo boo after your fix. A very chilly scene, but beautiful in its own right, just like the quote says. Speaking of beautiful, I love your photo with the early morning sun rays shining down on the open grassy area. I see this on sunny mornings, but at my house it falls through a tangle of trees. Gorgeous!
Oh I can only imagine how beautifully sparkly it is in person. that stamps is just beautiful for this technique and I would say you have done an amazing job of hiding your boo boo. Like how you even embossed your brads! Attention to every detail !
I love the sun rays coming through the trees, it always gives me chills to see that, makes me think of God and how his light shines down on us, even when we don't think it is.
Wow, very beautiful card Donna! It must sparkle so in real life. The seam line is well hidden and the little bit that one sees since you pointed it out, looks quite like a horizon line.
Hugs Monica
A beautiful card Donna, such a lovely stamped scene and perfect background.

Hi Donna, I just love your birdie card! Lots of pretty embossing powder. Thank you for stopping by my blog and following. I am following you now too and have added your blog to my sidebar. Have a blessed day.
Wow, I think everything about this card is so stunning in its monochromatic form! The image is stunning and of course, who knew to stamp on the glitter!! Now, Ms. Donna, I must give this a try! The hiding of the "boo boo" is perfect and something that I do quite often it seems like! LOL! The background and everything about this is stunning my friend!! P.S. LOVE your sun photo and I love the birds signing at me too! :) HUGS
What a great technique, Donna! Great save with the "line" of course I had to read about it or would never had noticed!! That really is a gorgeous little image. I'm sure it is a real sparkler IRL!!
Certainly a beautiful card, boo boo and all! I think that line works well, it adds a bit more depth and dimension by creating a shadow off in the distance. I think you should have just kept the secret, n o one would have even known! It's a beautiful creation, yes for Christmas or for a Cape Cod Spring....although today the temps are in the 50's...rainy and overcast, but yet some warmth for a change! YAY! FAB creation, Donna!!!
Thank you for sharing the boo boo and lets say I am with you x I so love the monochromatic look of your card and the glorious bling.....so very pretty x Wonderful sentiment and such a glorious card x
This has come together beautifully!
Great project! Fabulous that you have shared this with us here at The Holly & The Ivy. Good luck hun and do come back again!

Love the Wintry scene stamped on the glitter and to be honest I thought it was part of the watercolour effect.

Oh, Donna, what magnificent layers! Loving the glitter and the perfect sentiment. The fibers really add to the holiday feel. I've finally colored my first Christmas image but have yet to turn it into a card. I'm getting a late start this year but this card of yours inspires me. :-D
This is BEAUTIFUL. I'm a sucker for monochromatic designs, especially blues. Thank you for posting in the Merry Little Christmas Challenge!

Another beautiful card. Loving all the blues, the glitter and the pretty scene you created.If you hadn't said anything, I would not have noticed any mistake, and the sentiment is lovely too. Beautiful snowy scene.
Hugs

This is a very pretty & awesome glittered creation sweetie. I didn't notice the Boo Boo until you pointed it out & photographed it closely.
