'S is for Sparkle'
&
'T is for Texture'
Wei has donated a fabulous prize:
My card for the 'S is for Sparkle' theme is a simple one layer card...featuring stamps from the 'Let it Snow' set by Happy Little Stampers...I stamped them, along with a sentiment from the 'Letter It - Christmas' set by Ranger, using Versamark Ink on a kraft card blank, then heat embossed them using 'Ho Ho Ho' embossing glitter by WOW.
For my 'T is for Texture' card, I dug out one of my old favourite Penny Black stamps...'Snowy', and stamped him on to a snippet of watercolour paper, coloured him using watercolour pencils, then carefully cut him out. I made him a wintry background scene, and started by 'smooshing' Distress Inks on to pieces of watercolour paper...Salty Ocean, Broken China, Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch & Chipped Sapphire for the sky, and Crushed Olive, Forest Moss, Mowed Lawn, Lucky Clover, Evergreen Bough, Pine Needles & Ice Spruce for the trees. I embossed the 'sky' using a falling snow embossing folder by Tim Holtz for Sizzix...then lightly sanded over the raised surface to reveal the whit core. I cut some snowy mountains using a Happy Little Stampers die from a snippet of white card, then a couple of rows of trees from the green ink smooshed paper using a Penny Black die. I used a couple more snippets of white card for the snowy ground...tearing the edges for more texture, then layered everything up, adding 'Snowy' and finally a star cut from gold glitter card using a die from a Tim Holtz set for Sizzix.
I'm also entering these cards into the following challenges:
