Hi Friends!!
I am sharing another
card that was designed using the retired Stampin’ Up! set, Snow
Much Fun along with a sentiment from A True Friend (currently available from Divinity
Designs LLC).
This is a second Clean and Layered card design for The Card Concept #129 {Warm Winter Wishes} Challenge. I was inspired by the snowmen images, the wood sign as well as the colors of the pine branches.
I also used the
Splitcoastampers SC783 Sketch Challenge for the layout (still trying to create a card for each of their over 700 sketches and am so thrilled that do not end their challenges :-)) and am playing along with the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog #129 “Anything Goes” Challenge (both stamp sets are several years old).
To create this card:
De-static a piece of
white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the snowman image with Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with
a heat tool.
Watercolor the snowman
with water-based markers and trim the panel.
Mount onto black cardstock, trim close to the edge.
Emboss a piece of
white cardstock with a snowflake embossing folder, trim and mount onto black cardstock,
trim and mount onto the white card base.
Layer a piece of
designer paper with black cardstock, trim close to the edge and adhere to the
card front. Add the layered snowman image
with dimensional foam.
Ink the sentiment
with Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink, apply
clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool. Once cooled, die cut with a circle die, mount
onto another circle die cut from black cardstock (using a stitched circle die) and
adhere to the card front with dimensional foam.
Add a few rhinestones
to finish off the card.

Great card, Julie! I love the use of the crisp green and the repeated pops of black. That's a lovely retro stamp - I've not seen it before. Thanks for playing along with us again at Retro Rubber Challenge.
ReplyDeleteStill loving seeing your Old Skool made art. It continues to amaze me how the old stamped images still can hold their own today. That's one adorable card you've made. You know, I learned an important lesson when doing scrapbooking and genealogy. I was showing my daughter a layout I'd done at the time using only one large photo and no journaling as was the style at the time. And my daughter told me, Mom, we are not gonna care or even know what the style was. We will care about reading your journaling and knowing and learning and also seeing photos, not just one. Well, sure put it in perspective for me. The person receiving your card isn't going to know or care how old that stamp was, so we sure happily keep using them. ;-) XOXO
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! Just had to come by for a visit and see your sweet snowman up close. Then I read the paragraph about it being an old stamp, have to say, some of the oldies are my favorites. Love the scripture sentiment too!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Julie, love the pops of colour on your cute Snowman. One of the things that RR has taught me is to re-use my older stamps. Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber this time. Claire DT
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet image and pretty card! We appreciate you playing along with us at Retro Rubber for anything goes.
