'W is for Winter Wonderland'
(optional extra of 'All White')
We are sponsored for this Challenge by Simon Says Stamp...and the prize is a $15 gift certificate...and they'll pay the shipping too!
Thw 'Winter Wonderland' theme conjurred up images of snow and snowmen for me...so I've used a cute Prairie Fairy digi stamp called 'Snow Friends' on my card. I love all white cards (especially for Christmas), so I went with optional extra, but decided to try something a little different and inked the edges of all the layers with an icy blue to add definition. I used the following Cuttlebug folders for the embossing: 'Swiss Dots', 'Ice Crystals', 'Snowflakes' and 'Snow Dots'. The large snowflake was cut using my Cuttlebug 'Ice Crystal' die, then coated with Glamour Dust.
I'm also going to enter this card into the following challenges:
- Friday Sketchers - Sketch (I've rotated it)
- Craft Your Days Away - All White
- Critter Challenge - Christmas
- DCD Christmas Club - Use a Christmas Digi
- Fussy & Fancy - Winter Wonderland
- Simon Says Stamp - All White
