I promise I am not going to whine about my sore wrist. That was only part of what kept me from posting Kym's challenge for the Rose's yesterday. I also had all of the kids and their partners home for the weekend. Goodness, time sure does go fast when they are here!
Today I took my time and tried to do something outside of my comfort zone. It is sort of a Double Dutch fold card, but I did it a a wee bit different. We were asked to do a winter creation in blue. I worked in more of a blue green color.
Card stock: 12x12 textured, 81/2x11 regular
Designer papers: My Minds Eye
Stamps: Art Impressions Mill, Whimsy Stamps Valerie's Gift, Gina K by Theresa Momber, The Giving Tree
Punches: Martha Stewart, and SU!
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Evergreen Bough, and Iced Spruce
Coloring: Copic Markers
Embellishments: mirrored snowflakes, fun foam glitter snowflakes, button, and bakers twine from my stash
I created the snowdrifts and hazy moon with torn paper and the negative from a circle punch.
Thanks for taking a peek at my project, and if you would like to see more creations by the lovely ladies of the Paper Roses, please use the links on my sidebar! Have a wonderful week.
