Hey!!! Stopping in with a card for a couple of challenges: Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of winter birthday and Time Out challenge of winter. I also entered this in the SSS flickr challenge of what's new as I used the stamp set Frozen Fractals stamp set from the January card kit. I stamped the snowflakes with watermark ink, applied white embossing powder and then heat set. Once that was done I did some simple watercoloring with a dark blue ZIG clean color marker. I colored the centers of the snowflakes with the marker and then blended the color out with clean water. Once the panel was dry I trimmed it down just a bit on one side. The banner was die cut from some of the blue vellum that came in the SSS card kit, stamped with the sentiment (from the SSS set Hand Lettered Winter Wishes) using watermark ink, white embossing powder applied and heat set. The small birthday sentiment is from the SSS set Happy & Smile. I stamped it on light gray cardstock, trimmed it out and fishtailed one ended before adhering to the banner. I adhered the panel to a medium blue cardstock base and then finished things off with a few sequins from the SSS card kit. Supplies: Cardstock: medium blue, white watercolor paper; Stamps: Simon Says Stamp; Dies: My Favorite Things; Ink: VersaMark watercolor ink, VersaFine Onyx Black; Watercolor medium: ZIG clean color marker; sequins from SSS card kit; white embossing powder
