Let is Snow- Stamping Pals Challenge

Happy New Year!!

Today, I have the pleasure of being the Guest Designer over at the 

Stamping Pals Challenge.

Seems my card was chosen a winner and they have asked me to play along with their colour challenge.

**edited....so sorry, seems like we got our wires crossed when emailing.  I used colours from a previous challenge.**

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and placed my Three Rectangle Shadow stencil over the panel.
• I got out some paint colours that were closest to the above colours of the challenge, then using a credit card, I dragged the colours over the rectangles in a random pattern.  I dried in between the paint applications so I wouldn't end up with a bunch of muddy colours.
• With the stencil still in place, I added some black paint lines for interest with more paint and the side of the credit card.  I think it just adds a little more interest.
• I removed the stencil and washed it before the the paint would harden on it.  
• I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment from Penny Black.
• Next, I die-cut the snowflake from Simon Says with some heavy white, then glued it over my painted panels. The center of the snowflake is a little star shape when you cut it out, so I used some more of the blue paint to colour it to match the background.  I pop dotted it back into place on the snowflake and added a pink gem to the center.
• I glued the piece onto some blue cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

Well I think we are so glad to be moving on from last year.  

Wishing you good health, much happiness and wonderful days ahead.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
