Pale blue, light purple and teal were the 3 colours I opted to use for my card, working with SU! Soft Sky, Wisteria Wonder and Bermuda Bay. I stamped the sentiment and 3 snowflakes onto the white panel. I inked up the Weathered background stamp with Bermuda Bay, stamped off twice and then stamped onto the panel. I inked the edges with a sponge dauber and then decided to add some sparkle. I squished some Dazzling Details glitter glue onto my craft mat, rolled my brayer over it a few times and then lightly brayered the glitter glue over the panel. I layered onto Soft Sky and Wisteria Wonder mats and applied the panel to a 5 1/4" square white card base. I then added some punched Soft Sky snowflakes and sprinkled on some rhinestones.
Here's a closer look at the sparkle.
Here's the inside of the card and the envelope flap with just some simple stamping.

Fantastic! I adore snowflakes (not the real ones mind) on Christmas cards. I love the sparkle and bling and the sentiment is perfect. Love the inside and envelope too!

ReplyDeleteoh Wow Ruth! This is so gorgeous. What a wonderful frosty Christmas card you've created. I think sometimes you and I must be related as we pick similar schemes and ideas for our cards (I used the same color combo this week) - great minds :o) Hope all is well. Hugs D
