CARDS - Snowflake Challenge



Hi everyone! Hope your day has been going well... :)

I created this card for this week's CARDS blog challenge, which was to create a card with snowflakes. LOL, I know I just posted a card with this snowman on Saturday, but it's such a cute snowman I couldn't help myself... I printed it out a lot smaller, so it's kind of like a new image, right? :) It's a little hard to tell in the photo, but the snowflakes were first stamped in white ink, then I went back and overlapped them with aqua ink.

Have a great day!

Instructions

  • Create A2 card base using aqua CS.
  • Print snowman image out as a wallet size photo.
  • Color snowman with Copics and cut out.
  • Cut three pieces of white CS in hill shapes, emboss with dots then use distresser on the top edges.
  • Adhere ribbon and bow to the smallest white panel.
  • Layer white panels and attach to card base.
  • Stamp card base with white snowflakes.
  • Stamp aqua snowflakes slightly overlapping the white snowflakes.
  • Add snowman behind second white panel, and stamp sentiment.


Supplies:
Stamps - Happy Snow Day (Tiddly Inks), Handwritten Notes (PTI)
Ink - True Black, Aqua Mist, Fresh Snow, Copics
Paper - Aqua Mist, Stamper's Select White
Miscellaneous - Summer Sunrise Twill, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots
Embossing Folder
