My Favorite Things - Wednesday Sketch Challenge - WSC616

 

Here is the latest Wednesday Sketch Challenge WSC616 from MFT Stamps and I hope you are going to play along for a chance to win a gift voucher.

I took one look at this sketch and I immediately saw snowdrifts and that is how my inspiration card got started.

Products Used:-

Cool Day Stamps

Cool Day Die-namics

Drifts & Hills Stencil

I used the stencil together with Iced Spruce Distress Oxide Ink and approximated the the lines of the sketch - you don't need to be too literal ... work with what you have to hand.  I sized this panel to slightly smaller than A2, backed it with white craft foam and applied it to an A2 white panel attached to a card base.

I popped the card in my Misti and stamped the sentiment and set the base to one side.  Meanwhile, I stamped and coloured the Cool Day images for my winter birthday card.  Here are the colours used:-

Polar Bear - C5, C3, C1, C00, E50

Pinky Red + Blush - RV14, RV42, R11, R000

White - C3, C1, C0, C00

Snow On Sign - BG93, BG90

I die cut the images and applied to the scene with foam tape including a few pink (why not?) snowflakes as simple but unusual embellishments.  One or two points were highlighted with my trusty white gel pen and then this CAS (clean and simple) project was complete.   Best of luck with your challenge entries!

My Favorite Things - Color Challenge 172

Hello and welcome to a new Color Challenge 172 for My Favorite Things.   Check out my inspiration card below together with the colour palette you'll be working with .... some lovely cool tones.

For my card I've used Cool Day by Birdie Brown which has just been released from the vault and I decided to make a winter birthday card in the clean and simple (CAS) style.

I stamped the images and coloured them with Copic markers - here is my colour palette:-

Bear - E40, E50 E0000, T2

Greys - T5, T4, T3, T2, T1, T0

Bluey Greens - B11, BG0000

Purples - V01, V000

Images were die cut using the coordinating die-namics.

I used the A2 Stitched Rectangles STAX Die-namics (set 2) to create a background panel which I ink blended with Grapesicle Premium Dye Ink.   I die cut a second panel using the same die but time I created two snow hills using Stitched Snow Drifts Die-namics cut from each end of the panel so that dimensions matched.   These were adhered then I backed the Cool Day elements with foam tape and applied.

I popped the panel in my Misti and stamped the sentiment and then used Summer Splash Premium Dye Ink to stamp the snowflakes around the bear in a random pattern.

To finish the card I backed the panel to a full A2 panel of Chantilly Cream with a layer of white craft foam in between to elevate it.  This was adhered to my card base and then I used Stickles to glitter the snow on the sign.

Last but not least I used white Nuvo drops  to create the fun dimensional snowfall.   This completed the card.

Many thanks for stopping by - I do hope you enter the challenge and I wish you the best of luck with your entry.
