Hi there and welcome back to my blog. My header for February is a female cardinal who was outside my living room window, hiding from the snow!
Today my card is for the Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge, which is always an anything goes theme! I hope you will take a look at what my teammates have prepared too!
I started by placing a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of double-sided tape on a piece of 4" x 5 1/4" light blue cardstock.
Next I applied a strip of double-sided adhesive to a strip of white cardstock and die cut several snowflakes from the Recollections set.
Fascination glitter was applied to the snowflake after the backing was removed.
The sentiment from the Stampin' Up Warm and Toasty set was stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and then heat embossed with Clear Detail powder.
The protective backing was removed from the blue cardstock and the glittered snowflakes and the sentiment were placed on the sticky surface.
Sparkling Snow glitter was then burnished in to the rest of the sticky adhesive.
The polar bear from the Stampin' Up Warm and Toasty set was stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne, heat embossed with Clear Detail and then colored with Copic markers. He was then fussy cut and after the layers were added to a white card base, he was popped up on foam pads for a bit of dimension. Hopefully giving the idea of him skating on a frozen pond.
Here you can see all the sparkle from the different glitters and the embossing powder. I hope this gives you some inspiration to come and join along with our challenge?
I'd like to join in the following challenges, please:
Till next time!
Stay warm and toasty!
