This week the lovely and super talented, Jenny, is out hostessed and she is challenging you to...
I took the "winter" aspect of this week challenge for a STR..E..T..C..H! LOL! I actually used the "Summer Blossoms" stamp set and coloured it with richer, wintry tones to make it seem more winter like! I hope it speaks "winter" to you!
For my focal shape, I die cut a piece of Classic White Cardstock using the Perfectly Pierced Victorian Ovals die and then a created a thin cut frame around it. I stamped the sweet little greeting in the center of my blossoms from the "Medallion Motif" stamp set.
I decorated my front using some cut die cut snowflakes and some "Festive Fushia" seam binding ribbon, some Silver Metallic String and some cut little buttons. I added a touch of Stickles to the snowflakes and the center of the cream blooms for a bit of winter sparkle!
I coloured my blooms using the following Copic Markers:
BG11,BG70, BG72, BG75, BG78, BG93, BG96, R24, R27, R35, R37, R39, YR000 & YR0000.
I'm also submitting this for the Simon Says Stamps Blog challenge - anything goes challenge; here!
