TESC126 – Thanks Snow Much
I’ve been dying to use the new Mitten Weather Mini Deck from Cosmo Cricket and I finally got my chance yesterday when I sat down to create for the sketch challenge! I love the pale purples and light aqua blues mixed with the traditional red and green in this patterned paper collection! We also have a Mitten Weather cardstock pack available so you’ll have the perfect solid matches for your patterned paper! I decided to stick with just the purple/aqua combo for this snowy card. I started by cutting out snowflakes from a Spellbinders die. While the paper was still within the die, I airbrushed the snowflakes with BG72 and V95. I popped the snowflakes up on foam tape and embellished them with Crystal Twinkles and Starfire Glitter. For the layout, I started by scoring the lines onto the purple polka dot paper with my Scor Buddy. Then I took a sanding block and lightly sanded the scored lines to reveal the white core of the paper. I added the Ecru mini pom trim, faux stitched around the image panel, and added the ‘thanks snow much’ sentiment from A Year of Sweet Sentiments. I know I didn’t follow the sketch exactly, but that’s what makes sketches fun. They give you a starting point and allow your creativity to flow!
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
