Hey Friends!!
Just popping in with a card that I created for a couple of challenges. This is my last weekend of freedom as school starts this week and I have to start on Monday. I don't want to go back to work!!! I enjoyed my time off this summer not doing much-including all the cleaning I planned to do.
My card was inspired by TWO challenges. I had to play with this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #700. Can you believe they have been around for FOURTEEN years? I love sketches and am so happy that they are still posting new ones after all this time. I did not want to create a square card so I decided to make an A2 size. My snowman replaces the center square.The other challenge that inspired me was this weeks The Color Throwdown #839.
I dug through my stash and pulled out some things that I never used. I dug out the Simon Says Stamp Village Snowman dies for my central image.
The embossed background I created using Seaside Cardstock from Spellbinders and the Snowflake Visions Embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp. I then used some Hero Arts Unicorn Ink and Pinkfresh Studio Aquamarine over the top with a light hand. Before I adhered the panel to a white card base, I distressed the edges.
The squares were die cut from paper scraps. I added some snowflakes from my stash. I am ADDICTED to snowflake dies and I probably have about 15 different sets. Some contain multiple types of snowflakes in style and size, and others only contain one snowflake die. Are anyone else obsessed with snowflake dies?
My sentiment is from the Christmas 2023 Tim Holtz Sticker Set. I added it using foam adhesive. The last thing I did was add Deco Art Snow-Tex to my snowman. I LOVE how this came out!!
That is all from me. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!
