Snowflake

Hi everyone, a card today for Stamp Something with a challenge of 'snow somethings', ABC with a challenge of 'T is for three's', Dutch Dare where the challenge is 'scalloped edges', Sketch Saturday where there's a really great sketch by Mariska and Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge with a challenge of 'embossing - dry or heat'. I think I'm only just in the nick of time for two of these, there aren't enough hours in the day at the moment, I know we're all pretty much the same. I've used the lovely Whiff of Joy Charlotte and Reindeer image which is water coloured with distress inks and there's a tiny bit of a teal marker in there too. I've cut out the image and the scalloped square of teal bazzil with nestabilities and mounted on foam tape over a scalloped and CB embossed panel for the centre part of the sketch. I have modified the shape of my card and the elements but the original sketch is still there. The background paper is Bo Bunny and the three snowflakes are cut from ivory bazzil bling with a sizzix die and covered in Cosmic Shimmer glitter jewels inspired by Rach who did some a week or so ago and I loved the idea. Rach's blog is in my sidebar if you'd like to look at her gorgeous creation, she has a link to a tutorial on how to make them. I didn't do the sponging around the edges but used the wet glue and then lightly pressed them into the jewels as per the tutorial. I had to use a different product too. Added some doodling with a marker for stitching, the snowflake sentiment in blue versafine ink and some jewel gems to finish. Hope everyone's Christmas preps are going well, I've barely started and must get on with it while there's still things left to buy!!! TFL.

Back soon,
Chris
