warm wishes

Hello!!

So it has been COLD here in Alabama, perfect time to make a wintery card!

 I used an old Simon Says Stamp sweater pattern cling background stamp to emboss a panel of Concord & 9th dove cardstock. Added a few snowflakes die cut from white glitter cardstock, a die cut heart, some clear sequins, and a fitting 'think warm' sentiment.

I was inspired by the following challenges:

the card layout was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #619

  

and the color scheme was inspired by the mood board at Just Us Girls - #710

(specifically, the grey sweater with snowflake pattern and the cat's eyes pop of color)

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

 hello hello!!

Playing along with the latest Inspired By challenge - Inspired by - Snowman

I was inspired by the blue and the snowflake pattern on the jacket, and took a loose interpretation of the sketch.

Totally stepped outside of my comfort zone with this card, as I typically don't gravitate toward bold colored cards.... so I challenged myself with some distress oxide ink blending in an attempt to create a wintery sky.

The snowflakes were created with opaque grit paste and layering stencils.

I really enjoyed the ink blending here, I'm going to have to try this more often :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
