Hi Friends!
It’s time for the #191
Brrr...Baby It’s Cold Outside Challenge at SU-Only Challenges!
The weather here on the East Coast has been extremely cold so
I decided to create a card using the Flurry of Wishes stamp set along with a
few die cuts and a sentiment from Rose Wonder. We have not had a lot of snow yet, but snowflakes remind me of the cold :-)
I have had the Flurry of Wishes
stamp set for over a year and this is the first time I have had a chance to ink
it up! That is one of my goals again for this year- use the stamps that have not seen ink in a while :-)
I am also linking this card to the As You See It #166 “Sparkle”Challenge (it is hard to see the glitter in the background but it is there and the card is very sparkly:-)).
If you have not had a chance to stop by the SU-Only Challenge
site to check out the rest of the Design Team’s samples or the other challenge
sites yet, I encourage you to do so- fabulous inspiration from all!
To create this card:
1). De-static a piece of Whisper White cardstock with an
Embossing Buddy®, ink the snowflake images from Flurry of Wishes and stamp onto
the panel. Once the embossing has
cooled, tap the Tempting Turquoise Classic Ink Pad onto a silicone craft mat,
lightly spritz with water and press the embossed panel into the ink. Lift up and repeat the process with Dapper
Denim and Island Indigo Classic Ink.
2). Allow the panel to dry and use a Sponge Dauber with the
same colors of ink in Step #1 to add additional color to the background. Add a bit of distressing using the splatter
stamp from Awesomely Artistic with Island Indigo Classic Ink.Trim the panel and mount onto an Extra Thick Whisper White
card base.
3). Die cut several snowflakes from the Swirly Snowflakes
Thinlits™ from Whisper White cardstock.
4). Ink the sentiment from Rose Wonder with Island Indigo
Classic Ink and stamp onto Whisper White cardstock. Die cut with the Stitched Shaped Framelits™ ,
use a sponge dauber to apply a bit of Island Indigo Classic Ink around the
edges. Mount onto the card front with
Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
5). Add the die cut snowflakes to the card front along with a
few Rhinestones to the centers.
6). Finish off the card using Clear Wink of Stella® over the
snowflakes.
