Hello and welcome to my blog. The theme challenge over at the Global Design Project this week is Winter. I still have plenty of Christams cards to make, so I am game for this challenge!
One of my go to colour combinations, especially for a wintry card, has blues and purples in it. With a cool colour combination, it seemed apt to use snowflake images. So, I set to work making a flurry of snow on paper using a selection of snowflake stamps. As well as a variety of sizes I also wanted the snowflakes to be of different intensity - some delicate and some more bold. So I used images from a variety of stamp sets: Joyful Flurry, Spruced Up and Peaceful Deer.
For even more variety I also used an array of shades. I used three of the current InColors to give me intense dark blue/purple and a bright, vibrant blue to which I added some Pool Party too.
I made several Basic White panels and stamped a band of snowflakes across the middle of each of them. The first panel was mounted onto a layer of Orchid Oasis and added to a Basic White card base. Adding a simple sentiment and some Basic Rhinestones completed the card.
For the second card, the sentiment and layering are in Starry Sky. The decoration this time has the Basic Rhinestones supplemented with a Wonderful Snowflake. These iridescent foil snowflakes are die cut and add a real shine to the card!
My final stamped piece was trimmed to make a square card, embellished with both Basic Rhinestones and some silver Festive Pearls before mounting on to a Starry Sky layer and an Orchid Oasis card base. I never tire of this collection of icy shades. There is something quite classic about it. I cannot decide which of this trio is my favourite, which one do you prefer?
