Because this is a release week at Papertrey Ink, I am playing along with their Create Along With Us challenge where we pick a card from one of the designers to try and CASE. Every month it's hard to pick just one, but I knew on the 1st day that I had to copy Lizzie's card using the new Enchanted Forest set...I totally fell in LOVE!!
Isn't this just the prettiest card?!! I fell in love with the nighttime sky and the colors: Ocean Tides, Pine Feather, & Mint Julip. Here's what I came up with:
I started by blending my sky with Blueberry Sky and Enchanted Evening inks and then splattered with a bit of water and then splattered again with a bit of white acrylic paint. For my trees I used In The Meadow and O'Tannenbaum and then added my snowbanks using the In The Meadow dies and running them through a hardwood embossing folder before adding Dazzling Diamonds glitter.
I love the way Lizzie did her sentiment and I used a rectangle die to cut out and stamp and emboss my sentiment (Penned Elegance: Christmas) in gold and then laid it back in with foam tape on the back to give the dimension. My little rabbit is also from the In The Meadow set and I pop dotted him for some dimension too.
LOTS of inspiration as usual to choose from, so play along and you might win a $25 gift certificate! You can check out all the details right HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
Wow!! Your card is absolutely beautiful!! I love the background and the scene is so pretty I would frame it!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Marcia! And a CAS perfection. I love the texture/glitz you’ve achieved with your snowbanks! I have grown tired of some challenges and have thus dropped one of the sites I frequent (no, not papertrey), not to mention I need to budget more...holidays around the corner. >.<
