Hello, friends! Just stopping by today with a card for this week's CASology Challenge using the cue word WINTER. Hard to believe it is winter here in New Jersey...we are expecting temperatures in the high 50's all week!
My first thoughts for my card went to snowflakes and snowmen, but then I remembered a stamp from Hero Arts that depicts winter perfectly (at least in my mind!). The stamp is part of the Christmas Tags clear set, but I only used a section of the stamp. I embossed the image in white, but before I heat set it I used a small brush to wipe away the frame line as well as the "To" and "From" sections. After heat embossing, I used Broken China and Victorian Velvet distress inks to color the sky. I added some Star Dust Stickles to the image as well as the dry embossed snowflakes to add a little sparkle to my winter scene.
Be sure to stop by to see the other CASology Design Team members cards this week...they have made some pretty sweet cards!
Thanks for stopping by...hope you will play along!
