Minty

Hello All,

For today I am playing along with Fusion and Retro Rubber Challenge Blog. I love this challenge! I thought long and hard how am going to go about this 'mint' thing from Fusion. Well, it only took skimming through my mint paper when ideas started flowing. I will explain more in the captions. Here is my card today, enjoy!! 


The striped paper background started this entire design. The color was a perfect mint green. The snowflakes were part of a larger sheet of designer double-sided paper I found in my stash (picture below). I individually die cut the snowflakes into circles; I think it was a good idea from fussy cutting around its outline. I feel it would have been too busy.
As you can see by the picture the patterned paper which was double sided
adorned with silver shimmer. 
Above: I stamped the girl in the oh-so-cozy sweater, cut her out, and placed her over the sentiment banner. Left/Below: The oh-so-cozy knit sweater reminded me of one of the pictures from the inspiration photo. I have wanted to use this stamp for a while and this was my perfect opportunity!  Right/Bottom: Some of the die-cut snowflakes have some shimmer and shine and matches nicely with the silver shimmer of the standalone flakes.

 Challenges Entered:
I have owned both stamps for at least two years

Your card leaves me feeling all warm and cosy, with the snowflakes and layers and the girl with her warm jersey and cup. I like the way you've die cut out the circles and layered them over those lovely minty stripes. Thank you for joining us at Retro Rubber Challenge.

This is an awesome card! I love the combo of challenges and you used one of my fave Unity stamps. I love the Unity Girls. The subtle stripes are really working for me and I love the tones of minty green. So glad you love our challenge and thanks for playing along again at Retro Rubber. Claire DT
