I haven't stamped all week for no good reason other than I've just been plain lazy! But I wanted to get some challenges in so I made myself sit down last night at NINE and work on a card. I don't usually start stamping that late but I was determined to get something started AND finished! So, I combined the Sweet Sunday sketch which was adorable this week and the pretty color challenge over at the Colour Q.
Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Delicate doilies, Christmas greetings
Paper: Whisper white, sahara sand, night of navy, marina mist, subtles DSP stack
Ink: Night of navy, marina mist, bashful blue, versamark
Accessories: 3" circle die, scallop circles die, snow burst embossing folder, northern flurry strip, whisper white taffeta ribbon, marina mist polka dot scalloped ribbon, pewter embossing powder, dazzling details, regals buttons, frost white shimmer paint
I just loved how it turned out! I've been wanting to use the doily set for winter for a while and this was perfect. My favorite part is the embossed panel. I took a sponge wedge (I cut my stampin' sponges into 8ths...my very frugal momma would be proud, lol) and got it damp and then dipped it in the lid of my frost white shimmer paint. I then dabbed it on some scratch paper first to remove the excess and lightly tapped it all over the paper. That snowflake pattern looks FAB with this technique!
Happy stamping!
wasn't this a fun sketch Mindy? Love your card and color scheme. Those lacy doilies are on my wish list after seeing this!
