It’s Snowing!!

Posted on January 6, 2014 11:34 PM by Julie 4 Comments

Well, it may not be snowing right now, but it is soooo cold here! This is the deep south, y’all! And as of 9:20 pm EST, it was 13 degrees! The water outside from the rain last night has long since turned to ice and we’re on our way to a predicted 6 degrees tonight (-10 with the wind chill).

So with the winter deep freeze around here, I have two cards to share…one for the CAS challenge today (Snowflakes CAS254) and the other for the Color Challenge tomorrow. The card above is for the CAS challenge and it was super simple. ..especially since I already had the white mega oval die cut in my stash. I stamped the greeting 3 times w/o reinking and added a few snowflakes on it.

The navy panel was stamped w/ the white chalk ink and I added some additional snow dots w/ a white gel pen. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs –Let it Snow, 4 in 1 Snowflake, Snowflake Scroll, Snow Background

Ink: Memento Paris Dusk, Colorbox popcorn white chalk ink

Paper: white, navy

Accessories: Spellbinders mega oval die, white gel pen, stickles, rhinestone

I was asked to be a guest designer for the Color Challenge on Splitcoast for the month of January! The colors for CC460, are Rich Razzleberry, Island Indigo and Night of Navy. I don’t have the exact colors, but I found some inks and Copics which are very close and they seemed like good winter colors to me, so that’s the direction I went

.

Best of 2014!
I’m so happy and honored to be a Guest Designer for the Color Challenge this month and no one was more surprised than me, lol! And along with the colors , I included the dessert of splatters.

After masking a wide band, I stamped the winter trees in black and added a circle mask for the moon and used torn paper mask snow and sky areas. I sponged on the two inks for the night sky and and a little of the teal for the snow. I added some shadows and used the white ink and splatter background to add the snow. A white gel pen was used to bring out some of the splatters a bit more.

I added the narrow strips down the sides (colored navy with Copics) and the greeting in the lower right. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs DRS Designs – Winter Tree Line, Warm Wishes, Splatter Background, Single Tree

Ink: Memento Paris Dusk, lilac posies, teal zeal, Colorbox popcorn white chalk ink, Versafine onyx

Paper: white

Accessories: Copic markers, white gel pen, 7/8 circle punch

On the greeting flower, I left the die in place and sponged on the berry ink. On the other flowers, I sponged on the lawn, berry & peacock inks. The curvy white strip on top is a couple of left over pieces from die cutting a labels 17. The strips were pierced, attached on top of the two rows of flowers w/ ribbon on top.

On my first card, I used The Earth, Vintage Pattern Mini 1, the Circle Ornament dies and the ODBD Christmas Paper Collection 2013. After stamping the earth ornament and die cutting it, I added a die cut red bow, holly leaves and berries to the top. The left side of the cardinal paper was die cut and I added another die cut piece of red underneath to help define the border. The lt green/vanilla bg was stamped with Vintage Mini Pattern 1 and the green ink. The dk green is another sheet of the Christmas paper collection. I added a few die cut hanging stars to finish my 5.50 x 4.25 card.

On my second card, I used 4 inks to pounce/sponge color on white c/s then stamped the 2 large ornaments of the Vintage Pattern Ornament set w/ Versafine onyx. I wanted a much smaller ornament so I die cut a smaller circle and w/ the die still in place, I stamped the Vintage Pattern Mini 1 inside then drew the border w/ a fine black marker. I added a few dots w/ a white gel pen for some contrast. On the 2 border strips, I stamped the Vintage Pattern Mini 1 & Vintage Pattern Mini 2 and attached them to the front of my 4.25 x 5.50 card. The greeting was stamped with a combination of red & green inks. The two smaller bows are from the stars die cut.
