Morning all! I'm a little sad today because I've had to leave two of my Design teams for reasons I don't fully understand - but it has been my choice to go! I hope they both manage to work things out, thank them for having me and I wish them the best for the future.
Anyway -onwards and upwards as they say! Today I want to show you a card I made for the challenge on the Sunday stamper this week which is snow/snowflakes - I have to say I am very pleased with the card - it looks very pretty to me!
I've used white papers that I've stamped on using two different snowflake stamps in versa mark - then added clear embossing powder and heat set. After that I've used broken China DI direct to paper and smudged more in using cut and dry foam. I've used stormy sky DI around the edges then buffed up the snowflakes using kitchen roll. Finally i've added the ribbon and charm and mounted this onto some LOTV blue snowflake paper and onto a card. The verse is from Clarity stamp but obviously its not their verse - its walter de la mares!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Hi Rachel, your card is stunningly beautiful! The blue against the frosty snowflakes is divine as is the ribbon with the gorgeous little snowflake charm. I believe that everything happens for a reason, you will go on to bigger and better things, so don't be sad, think of it as a new beginning.... Crafty hugs, Anne x

ReplyDeleteShelby
Love the card and, as a new crafter, thank you for the tip about buffing up the embossed images. As Shelby said, these things will work themselves out; my boyfriend says one door (or two) closes and another opens......
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful card! I like the colour!
ReplyDeleteFab creation and thanks for joining us at Creative inspirations for our Anything goes challenge
