Snowflake Christmas

Hi Crafty Friends,

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Tracey Farr our challenge hostess for the month continues to issue the challenges.

It's the third Saturday of the month, which means it is time for a sketch challenge.

I changed my card from an A2 card in the sketch to a Slimline Card. I also flipped the sketch so my cluster of three items were at the top left corner rather than the bottom right.

To create the background panel of my card, I did cut the smallest rectangle using the Pink Fresh Studios Slim Diagonal Rectangle die set  from white cardstock. I used snowflakes from Simon Says Stamp's Gnome for the Holidays stamp set, stamping them with VersaMark Ink onto the card and embossing with white embossing powder. Once embossed I covered the cardstock with Pistachio Distress Oxide ink. I then used the same snowflakes and clear embossing powder and stamped a few more snowflakes. Next I blended on Faded Jeans Distress Oxide ink  and then added a few more snowflakes. Finally I blended on Blueprint Sketch & Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide inks.

I die cut three snowflakes from white and aqua glitter cardstock and adhered them to the top left hand corner of the card.

I used Taylored Expressions Mini Strips - Holiday stamp set and coordinating die to add the sentiment to the lower portion of the card.

For the inside of my card I added the rectangle layers using both the Pink Fresh Studios and Honey Bee Stamps Slimline dies I used on the front of the card.

I added the sentiment which is from a Kaisercraft Stamp set and three snowflakes from the Simon Says Stamp Gnome for the Holidays stamp set.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.
