Well due to illness, I missed last weeks
Mo's Challenge but I am ready for this one. Our December Hostess, Lydia, has set this weeks challenge as Just White - the card and embellishments are all to be white, the only color allowed is on the image itself. I think this is a tough challenge, the last time I tried one of these I did not do so good, lol. But I am very pleased with what I created here.
I began with a 5x7 card of
Ice Gold, it is perfect for snowmen, the bright white sparkle to the paper is really beautiful. Next I punched the border strips with an old Fiskars punch and attached them to my snowflake Cuttlebug panel. The snowflake panel on the bottom is a small portion of the Cuttlebug Seasons Greetings embossing folder. I added small pearls to the centers of the snowflakes for a little extra bling. I printed Mo's adorable
Snowman image using my Canon inkjet printer, again onto Ice Gold and then used the following Copics:
Snowman - B0000, YR15
Buttons and Coal - C3
Snow - B0000
Hat and Bird - R46
Scarf and mittens - G21, G28
Branches - E33
I cut the image out with my Spellbinders Labels Four die, then used my new Marvy Snow Marker to make the falling snowflakes. I also added Sparkly Fluff from Our Craft Lounge to the hat pom. Added the ribbon and I was done. Be sure to stop by
Mo's Challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT has come up with and please join in on the fun.
