Well one more work day and then the weekend. Do you have plans? I am going to the cross stitch show in Pennsylvania with my sister. Not sure if I will get anything or not but you never know.
My card today uses a sketch from a blog that is just starting to have challenges. I visit her blog every day and I thought it would be fun to play along with her. Donna at Butternut Sage Designs had a design that had the stipulation of no embellishments. I thought about this and how I could do make a card without embellishments and decided that a scene would work.
I thought it would be fun to use the Lovely as a Tree group of trees and make it look like they are in the background of a snowy scene. I used a third generation stamping of the trees in Always Artichoke. I then sponged the edges with Bashful Blue and added some Marina Mist in each of the corners. I took a post-it note and ripped the sticky edge and used it to sponge Bashful Blue on the bottom to represent mounds of snow. Using the stamp with 3 snowflakes from Serene Snowflakes I used second generation stamping to add snowflakes. I then went back and added a few snowflakes without off stamping.
I determined my layers and cut my cardstock. I layered all my pieces and then added some Dazzling Diamonds with the glue pen. I also highlighted some of the snowflakes using my gel pen. It is really sparkly. Here is my finished creation.
