Couldn't resist making the backgrounds a little colorful and love how they both turned out. Here's a closer up of card #1...
I arranged the 2 snowmen and the snowflake images on a white background embossed with my favorite snowflake ef this year from SSS (Snowflake Visions). I stamped a few extra snowflakes from the North Pole stamp set (WF), and then added my sentiment (WF's Merry Christmas Print Die) and a few PFS iridescent gems. And also a touch of glitter.
My 2nd card uses the last 3 snowmen images and I used the book binding fold that I've been pretty hooked on lately! I used again the same ef (Snowflake Visions) on white cs for the main portion and on some pink cs for the binding section (I used white pigment ink over the pink snowflakes to make them stand out a bit more).
I used the same sentiment as the first card and added a few Disco Ball Sequins (Gina K) and some pink & white baker's twine to finish off this card. I'd forgotten how cute this sweet stencil set was...thanks for reminding me dear friend!!
Lots of awesome inspiration from the DT and their special guest Leslie, and also in the gallery already, so if you like to stencil, check it all out right HERE. This challenge is only open till Wednesday, Dec. 3rd @ 6:00PM, so check it out sooner rather than later! :0)

The bookbinding fold is cool it invited a thorough viewing. Your portrait oriented card is very eye catching. Love that thin black border and the postage mark embossed on the black. Very chic.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is this little crew! Love the colors you used and the snow you added to their noses, I could probably build each one of these in our backyard with the snow we got last night LOL! Thanks for playing along at Just Us Girls, Marcia!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your bold backgrounds with these cuties! Great additions to the gallery, Sweet Friend
ReplyDeleteAwww, these are some of the prettiest, cheeriest, most fun snowmen of the season! I love your colors and the cut apart arrangements and every other little detail. The embossing folder is a delicate beauty, and it shows off beautifully on the edge of your book-bound card. Pure joy in these cards, Marcia!
