Winter wishes 23

Hi there! Today I'm honored and thrilled to be a guest featured on the Stamps and Stencils challenge blog. The DT has beautiful projects to share ~ please be sure to visit the Stamps and Stencils challenge blog. The current challenge is all about Pastels. Here's my take on the challenge:

To create my card, I inked the background then randomly stenciled snowflakes. Next, I randomly heat stamped and heat embossed snowflakes. I embellished the card with a pair of die cut ice skates which I painted and stitched up. I topped it off with die cut sprigs and a fancy bow.

I'm joining along with the following challenges: For sketch inspiration, Fab Friday challenge as well as the Simon Says Stamp: Monday challenge where the theme is It's a Stitch Up: (the laces are all stitched up) and

Merry Monday challenge where the theme is Outdoor Activities:

Thank so much for stopping by!

Cheryl W. said...: Your card looks awesome! Strangely, I was looking at some yellow paper today and wondering whether I could use it for a Christmas card and, if so, how I'd go about that. Now I know it can definitely be used for holiday cards. You're such an inspiration!; Reply November 16, 2017 at 9:07 PM
