C4C266 - Happy Birthday

Hello! I'm popping in to share a card I created for the current Crazy 4 Challenges C4C266 challenge, which is to create a winter themed birthday card.  I loved the sketch over on the CASE this Sketch blog this week, so I'm using that as my starting point! :)

To create my card, I started with a piece of white CS, which I stamped with the large, solid chevron from the V for cheVron set from Winnie & Walter.  I used a mix of distress inks (which was tapped directly on the stamp then spritzed with water), and pigment silver ink to create my color combo.  While the stamped CS was drying, I stamped the sentiment from Winter Woodland in versamark ink, then heat embossed with white powder.  

Once the chevrons had dried, I stamped every other strip with the snowflake image from the Big, the Bold and Seasons in versamark, then heat embossed with white powder.  I angled the CS on the card base, then used my paper trimmer to cut it down to size.  The layer was then secured to the card front with pop dots.  To finish up, I adhered the sentiment to the card front and embellished with green enamel dots.

Want to play along with us this week? All you need to do is create a winter themed birthday card/project, and upload it to the linky found on the C4C266 post HERE.

Have a great one!
