Snowflakes & Ice Skates

Posted on January 8, 2014 10:45 PM by Julie 4 Comments

For the Ways to Use It Challenge (WT461), the theme is Let it Snow! So with that and the recent bone chilling temps lately, I have a big embossed snowflake and ice skates card.

My skating card is pretty easy. After stamping and coloring w/ Copics, I did do a little out of the box treatment on the top. The grey heather background was embossed and I used a white Permapaque marker to highlight the raised areas. A couple of cobalt blue layers and a little rhinestone, and my 4.25 x 5.50 card was finished. Only a handful of Copics were used and here are the colors:

Snowy Night

Congrats to Joy, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS361)! Her gallery is a delight and after browsing for a long time, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the snowy sky and tree theme, but I used different images, slightly different colors and made mine just a winter card instead of a Christmas card.

I stamped the snow tree w/ fence on white, added a hint of color and shadows w/ some very light cool gray and a snow green Copic markers, then cut around the top edge. When I got to the tree, I left only a very small portion of the right side of the trunk. On a larger navy blue piece, I lined up where the tree would be and stamped it again w/ the popcorn white ink. I added a bit more white (for snow) on the tree with a white gel pen. I used a small die cut circle for the moon and stamped just a few of the branches w/ black. The snow was stamped using the splatter background and the popcorn ink. I added a bit of the same splatter bg on the white part using the lt blue ink. The first two lines of the greeting were added in lower left.

Congrats again, Joy, enjoy your week! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy New Year!

A very Happy New Year to you all!

Today’s sketch challenge (SC469) is an interesting one, and I took a couple of liberties with it in order to make my elements work. I laid it down horizontally and my corner element and little circles are all tied together. I hope the sketch is still recognizable 🙂

The snowflake wreath was silver embossed and die cut w/ a large circle. I added a turquoise layer die cut w/ an exquisite circle die behind it then the added the turquoise forstyville border across the bottom. The greeting is only a portion of a larger Christmas greeting. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
