There a new challenge at Just Us Girls this week - Use something old and/or something new!
My something old-two Stampin Up stamp sets from 2002! "Flaky Friends" and "Holiday Wishes". I combine them with something new: Some silver Nuvo Mousse with a new stencil from Hero Arts called "Deco Pattern". After I made the background with the silver mouse, stencil and red card stock, I decided it was just to busy for the image so I cut two thin strips of it for each side of the black card panel and mounted the oval image in the center. I colored selectively on the snowmen with only one color and added Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to the snowy little guys!
I hope you will play along with us this week!

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, what an adorable card. I LOVE those cute snowmen, and coloring just the red really makes this pop. I love the red and white patterned paper too...well done oh TALENTED ONE!!!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic card with that cute family of snowmen. I love the way you colored them and the wonderful colors on their attire that goes perfectly with the pattern paper you picked.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Christmas Challenge this week. Flaky friends is one of my all time favourite SU Christmas stamp sets. You've done a stellar job of showcasing them in your card. I like that you've kept the colouring to just the red as it really draws in the red from the strips of stenciled card stock. The stenciling is beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Angie. Love the layout and the simple colour choice. So cute!
