Hi Friends!!
It is time for The Card Concept #45 "Let It Snow" Inspiration Challenge- I love this color combination for Christmas and I chose to use the colors as well as the snowflakes for my Mixed Media card design.
I am also going to link this card to the Fusion “Blue Christmas” Challenge and the Paper Players PP273 “Tic-Tac-Toe” Challenge (snowflake, blue, ribbon).
Just a reminder that
the Card Concept is a bi-weekly challenge that has an inspiration photo along
with a number of design styles that you can choose from to create your card-
Clean and Simple, Clean and Graphic, Clean and Layered, Shabby Chic, Freestyle
Collage, Classy and Elegant and Mixed Media.
I hope you can find some time to gather your supplies together and come join in on the
fun- this will be our last challenge before Christmas :-)
To create this card:
Using
a foam brush, apply Gesso® to a piece of designer paper (this is a great way to use up
the patterns that you are not fond of) and once dry, apply a combination of
Ranger® Tim Holtz® Chipped Sapphire Distress Stain along with Faber-Castell® Gelatos®
(not sure of the color- I think it is Blueberry).
This
process is a bit difficult to describe and basically you keep building up the
background color until you are pleased with the results.
Use
the large splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge with White Craft Ink to add a bit
of splatter to the background (difficult to see in the photo).
Once
the color had dried, de-static with the Embossing Buddy® and stamp the retired
Festive Flurry snowflake image using Versamark™ ink, apply Stampin’ Emboss®
Winter White Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
Close up of the easel closed :-) |
When
the embossing has cooled, ink the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps (SNSS) Winter Blessings
stamp using Night of Navy Classic Ink and stamp over the snowflake and
background.
Trim
the panel and hand cut the V-shape per the sketch.
Mount
the lower panel onto a card front using Night of Navy cardstock.
Ink
the sentiment from the retired Stampin’ Up! More Merry Messages using Versamark™
ink, apply Stampin’ Emboss® Winter White Embossing Powder and heat set with the
Heat Tool.
Create
the easel card from Extra Thick Whisper White cardstock (I used the
Splitcoaststampers Tutorial here), stamp the sentiment from the retired Our
Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) His Gift stamp set using Night of Navy Classic Ink ,
add the strip of Night of Navy cardstock with dimensional foam (cut the strip with
the My Favorite Things (MFT) Horizontal Stitched Strip Die, edge with the MFT
Die-namics Faux Crochet Die from Whisper White cardstock along with the 3/8”
Denim Ribbon and stamp snowflakes from the Winter Blessings set (SNSS) with White Craft Ink).
Adhere
the card front to the easel and finish off the card with the retired Frosted
Finishes Embellishment and Rhinestones.
Stamp Sets:
Festive Flurry, More Merry Messages (retired Stampin’ Up!); Gorgeous
Grunge (Stampin’ Up- current), Winter Blessings (current SNSS), His Gift
(retired ODBD)

Holtz® Chipped Sapphire Distress Stain along with Faber-Castell® Gelatos® (Blueberry),
