Inky Paws Challenge #249

 This Inky Paws challenge was a sketch challenge. I stenciled the background using the Newton’s Nook Snowfall stencil and soft blue ink,  then added paper from the their Snow Flurries pad. For the central design, I cut the Let It Snow shadow from vellum and the words from some plum paper I had in my stash. We may not get much more snow, but I’ve got cards just in case!

Wintry Days!

 

It seems like it’s been cold everywhere lately. Here in Texas, we’ve had quite a spell of unseasonably freezing temperatures-the perfect time to stay inside and be creative. I staged this card instead of my usual card only picture-let me know if you like the change.

The card uses Gina K. stencils and stamps, with Stellar Snowflake in the background, created with White Shimmer Delicata ink. The smaller snowflakes are from Last Minute Labels and Blizzard. They were stamped with embossing ink and heat embossed with white tinsel embossing powder. I finished off the card with some silver sequins and popped the blue panel up using foam tape onto a silver card base.

A frosty Christmas

The sentiment is from the same set, stamped with Blue Lagoon ink.. It's hard to tell, but for the background I blended Sea Glass, Turquoise Sea, and Blue Lagoon. Unfortunately, it came out blotchier than I wanted, so I topped it with vellum. Both of those layers were cut with Master Layouts 1. The panel with the snowflakes is cut with Master Layouts 2. The sequins I had in my stash. After the blistering 100 degree plus heat here in Texas, it was fun to work on something cool.
