Hi all!
Before I go and start my homeschooling week, I figured I'd share a card I made for 3 different challenges going on right now. Here are the challenges:
Stampin' Sisters in Christ asked that we make a b-day card in honor of Christ's b-day.
PaperPlay Challenges asked that we use a snowman on our cards.
And, lastly,
CAS-ual Fridays asked that we make a card using a mist technique. Here's the image for their challenge.
Here's my take on all 3 challenges:
I started out by inking up the snowflakes. I used one from Hero Arts and another from a dollar stamp set. I used broken china distress ink on them and then embossed them with clear embossing powder. Then, I inked up the background with the same distress ink. I then used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Dazzling Diamonds and spritzed it all over the background. You can't tell in the picture but the background just glitters! Love it! Then, I stamped the snowman (from stampin' up) in black ink and then stamped another snowman on some scrap paper. I cut out the snowman from the scrap paper and colored him in using glaze pens. I added some detail to the snowman by using the black glaze pen on his arms, eyes, and mouth. Then, I stamped an oval in distress ink and stamped the happy b-day sentiment (also from a dollar stamp set). I added 2 small gems on the sentiment and then pearls on the snowflakes. I mounted it on cardstock that I had inked with distress ink and done!
This was a really fun card to do...and I LOVED using the mist! It's a subtle glimmer but so lovely!
Hope you all can join in the fun!
Have a great week!
