Hi there everyone! Today starts a new Christmas Challenge at Happy Little Stampers!
This month our challenge requires you to create anything Christmas, in any style using our word -
That's right! Add some sparkle to your life and your Christmas project.
Here is my DT card -
This was my 4th attempt at creating this card. Geez!! I wanted to mask my snow banks but I really sucked big time and it just wouldn't work for me.
So I settled on using distress inks and a small mask for the moon to create the background. Then I used some die cuts for my snow banks. Cheating? Hmmmm, I preferred the end result lol.
I stamped my sentiment which is from the HLS Mixed Christmas Sentiments set. LOVE this set! When designing it, I just wanted sentiments that you could use on any Christmas Card you wanted to make. I had found that my current collection of stamps didn't really have the sentiments I wanted to be able to use.
My sparkle was added by using stickles along the edges of the dies. I was going to stamp or emboss some stars in the sky but decided that a white gel pen would be perfect for little dots to create snow.
Here is a look at the stamp set that I used for this card -

Those snowbanks really sparkle. And the shimmer behind the moon in that sky really looks what we sometimes see in the winter. This is just a beautiful & sparkling card! The new sentiment set looks great on this one, Kylie!
ReplyDeleteLove how the snow banks sparkle! I know the feeling with sponging the snow banks - took me a long time to get that down...lots of thrown away trials...lol! You're not alone. :) :) I love that sentiment, one of the ones that drew me to that set! Love your color choice too. Great card Kylie.
