Snowflake Painter

Hello friends,

Hope you are all well and enjoying your Easter weekend. Here's another non-DT card from me; I decided as the weather in the UK has been soooo unseasonal in the last couple of weeks, that I would make a snowy card.

I've had this image for a while and when I saw yet another snow flurry hurtle past the window last weekend, I knew what to make!

My card recipe is as follows:

• Base Card - made from a pre-made A6 card in Kraft onto which I've embossed the largest rosette shape from the "nest" on the Ultimate Pro Embossing Board Springtime Sweets and Cupcake Treats. Having cut this shape out, I then scored and folded the card to make a Rocker Card.
• Design Paper - is from The Snowman Papercrafting Collection CD-rom. I used the largest circle from the "nest" on the Ultimate Pro Embossing Board Springtime Sweets and Cupcake Treats, which I then cut out and folded in half to get a semi circle of paper.
• Images - I've used two images on this card, which I've digitally 'engineered' to put together.  The scroll and snowflakes are called "And the Snowflakes were hung" and this was one of the goodies in the 2012 Winter Club by Paulette at Create with TLC. The cute child in the seasonal costume is called "Reindeer Kid" and he comes in the Christmas Kids set at Digital Delights. Before I debossed a slightly smaller circle from the "nest" on the Ultimate Pro Embossing Board Springtime Sweets and Cupcake Treats (I wanted to ensure I didn't wreck the scroll!), I brought this scene to life courtesy of my Spectrum Noir Pens in the following colours:
  

  
• Skin - FS2, FS3, FS6
• Hair - GB4
• Reindeer Suit - GB8, GB10, EB2, EB5, CR11, DG3, JG6
• Scroll - TB1, BT9
• Snowflakes - Embossed using Silver Embossing Powder and Versamark Pen. Unfortunately they have turned out rather blotchy ... maybe I need a less heavy hand with the pen!
• Outline - IG1
• Clouds - Chalk in Light Blue and Grey
• Sentiment - is by Debbie at The Crafty Pad Designs and it comes in the set of Christmas Sentiment Tickets.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenge:

• Seasonal Fun Challenge at Crafter's Digital Art Center

I'm hoping to get another post done this weekend, as the end of March is the deadline for the current Progressive Challenges over at Crafter's Digital Art Center. If you get a spare hour or so to yourself to make a card or two, why not come over and join in the fun?


Hugs, Helen x
