I am so happy you could join me and share your day with TheGrandStampede. For today I am writing on behalf of Make My Monday Challenge Blog to announce a new challenge and also to enter a few challenges myself; The Card Concept, The Paper Players and CAS-ual Fridays. Here is my inspiration card for tonight.
 |
| For the background of the card I used masking fluid and then applied some Brusho's and lots of water!! |
 |
| This weeks challenge: White Christmas |
 |
| The color scheme comes from The Card Concept. Wonderful and serene backdrop for our focal image, the snowflake. The vellum acts as a kind of bokah effect. A perfect place to add the sentiment. |
Details of the snowflake and its dimension, shimmer and the
subtle change of color between the flakes.
subtle change of color between the flakes.
I know it doesn't show well in the picture but the 'white' is actually a vanilla color. The middle of the snowflake I sprayed using a mixture of Perfect Pearls Gold Metallic and water. Wow, does it shimmer! I feel subtle details such as this one brings a lot to the design.
That should do it for me. I do hope you will hop on over to Make My Monday Challenge Blog and link up with us. I do hope you have a great night and we will see you soon!! Take care.
All the best,
Shawna
Note:
I have never used masking fluid before so this would be a new technique for me. I am here to say out of all the adhesives, paints, and other smelly crafty things I used this is bar none the worst smell I have ever encountered. So for you crafters consider this your warning. I love the masking part but beware of the odor. You might want to mask your nose while you are masking your card!
