Wishing You a...

JOYOUS SEASON

 

Welcome to my blog and another sharing day

Today is a card I made for the Design Team at  Try Stampin' on Tuesday, a weekly sketch challenge

 

This week Team B was inspired by Sketch #147 (see sketch below)

 

Here's my card...

 

 

Sketch #147

TWIST:  add a snowflake

 

I started with a blue A2 card base layered with a dotted pattern paper cut 1/4" smaller on all sides

 

I ran a piece of 5" x 2" kraft cardstock through my Cuttlebug using the snowflake folder

Once I ran this piece through the Cuttlebug, I then laid it on a flat surface

Next I rubbed white VersaCraft ink over the top - ink will only stick to the raised up surface

 

Sentiment from My Favorite Things using Kraft ink on ivory cardstock

This piece of paper I opted to make a little smaller to fit the sentiment I used  - cut at 3-1/4" x 1-1/2"

 

To finish the card: a snowflake punch in kraft and blue, layered on top of ivory circle punch

I then added a cream brad in the center of the snowflake and three brads in the lower left

 

I sure hope you will have a chance to play along with us this week

To make my card I used the Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder on ice blue cardstock

This was layered on top of navy blue A2 card

Chilly was colored with my Copic markers in the following colors: 

B60, C-3, C-5, Y00, Y08, Y17, B00, B02

I finished by adding the striped adhesive ribbon at the bottom, ice blue ribbon/bow down the side

Sequins snowflake and silver sequins with blue rhinestones for added SPARKLE!
