Hello!! Hope everyone here in the US had a lovely Thanksgiving! We had a really wet one, but that is the Pacific Northwest in the winter! Stopping in with my card for this month's PTI blog hop. Nichole provided a lovely inspiration photo with lots of different directions you could go in. I decided to focus on the two packages that were done in blue with gold polka dots. It made me think of Tiffany Blue so the hunt was on to find a light robin's egg blue in my collection. I finally hit on one with some very old Close to My Heart cardstock that I have. I used PTI's What the Doodle: Snowflake, as well as a sentiment from Rustic Wreath. I stamped the large snowflake on the light blue cardstock using VersaMark ink, applied gold embossing powder and heat set. Once I had that done I die cut the snowflake using the matching die. The swirl image from the set was stamped twice using Delicata Golden Glitz on a panel of white cardstock that I die cut and then the sentiment was stamped using a light blue similar to the cardstock. The sentiment is hard to read, but I didn't want to use a really dark ink like black so I went with the light blue. The layout for the card is based on the current Freshly Made Sketches so I will be posting it there, as well. Also posting this to the current SSS Wednesday challenge of Christmas to die for.
Hope you have a wonderful day and happy hopping...
Supplies: Cardstock: white, Close to My Heart light blue; Stamps: PaperTrey Ink; Dies: PaperTrey Ink and AJVD; Inks: VersaMark watermark, Delicata Golden Glitz, Hero Arts Soft Pool

ReplyDeleteI just love the What the Doodle Snowflake but I still haven't used it for a card. Too many ideas and not enough time I suppose!
