Hi, friends, and happy 2015!!! I hope your Christmas was wonderful and that your new year will be amazing, too. :) I'm here today with my first card of the new year for House of Cards! This month, we'd like you to USE GLITTER &/OR USE THE COLOR/PHOTO INSPIRATION. Here's the inspiration for you...
I'm not quite done with winter crafting just yet, so I decided to create a card that could be used any time for any reason during winter months, even for a Christmas card. Here's my card...
I started by stamping the snowman and his winter garb from a set by Close To My Heart with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I chose to stamp on specialty paper and then paper piece the hat and scarf. I jazzed up these two elements by adding liquid pearls by Ranger, chalk marker by Stampin' Up!, and glitter gel pen by Sakura. I've got a video tutorial all about that on the challenge blog and HERE on my YouTube channel. :) He was punched out and layered onto some silver glitter paper that was accented with more liquid pearls.
After the focal image was done, I turned to the sentiment. I stamped one from Inspired By Stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the same specialty paper.
I then layered these elements onto a panel of turquoise glitter paper from DCWV matted with turquoise card from Stampin' Up!. This was matted onto a card base made with the same elements. A few enamel dots from Freckled Fawn finished the card.
That's all for me today! I hope you join our challenge over at House of Cards and I wish you and yours a very happy new year! HUGS and happy stamping to you all! :)
