Hello friends! I am so honored to be the January Guest Designer for Just Us Girls! And this week we're starting off 2024 with a fabulous color combination that I absolutely love!
I'm also sharing over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where this week's theme is Something New, which is perfect since I used a new stamp and die set for this card.
I knew right away that I'd be using these colors for a birthday card for our great-nephew because they are perfect for creating a snowy scene.
I started with a panel of mixed media paper and ink blended the teal sky with Altenew Teal Caves. Next I combined some Tim Holtz Distress Snowfall Grit Paste and Sparkle Paste then spread it through a snow stencil. While that dried, the images were all stamped, colored with Copic markers and die cut.
Before adding the cute little Yetis, the background was added to the panel. I used a Copic marker to add teal around the edges then used Stardust Stickles to add sparkle on top and also on the tree branches. The Yetis were then added with thin foam squares, as was the sentiment, and lastly I used Glossy Accents on the balloon to make it nice and shiny. I think my nephew will get a kick out of this card, especially the punny sentiment.
Thanks for taking time to stop by, and I hope you'll do the same at the challenge blog, where the DT have some fabulous inspiration for you!
Take care!
Stef
