WINTER WONDERLAND - WHITE ON WHITE

Hello!

We have a new challenge starting for you today over at
WINTER WONDERLAND
It is the ICICLES DT posting their inspiration today
With our DT Leader ALISON hosting.
This is a Christmas themed blog for most of the year.
If like me you love making Christmas cards then please do come and join us.

Our sponsor for this challenge is
BUNNY ZOE'S CRAFTS
and the prize will be...
£10 GIFT VOUCHER
Sadly this will be the last sponsorship from this lovely artist as the shop is closing.
We wish Nikki every success with whatever her chosen path may be.
There is a sale going on right now so pop over and grab yourself a bargain!

So here is my inspiration card.
I love white on white.
Always looks clean and crisp just like the first snowfall.

I used a white 5x5 base card and layered the front with a slightly smaller mat
that I had embossed with a sheet music embossing folder. I also embossed a strip of white card to fit across the middle of the front of the card.
I cut out some pretty die-cuts using dies in my stash and placed them using 3D foam pads to give a bit of depth to these. Then I die-cut a little winter scene and placed that over the top of the other die cuts using 3D foam pads again. Finally I used a little silver glitter glue.
Lastly to finish off the card I placed a sentiment in the top left corner.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

Please do visit our other DT members to see their fabulous creations too.

Thank you for stopping by today and we look forward to seeing your creations in the challenge.

Now for my DT inspiration project.
I used the image
WINTERGREEN WISHES
by Hannah Lynn at Crafts & Me

This is what I came up with....

I chose to make a blue card.
I started off with a white base card then covered the front with a blue stripey paper.
Next I layered that with another stripey paper this time in a grey/blue.
I layered the image onto a snowy background paper and placed it in the centre of the card.
I used a Nordic style strip across the top above the image and another strip just below it.
I used some other Nordic style decorations at either side of the image.
At the top left corner of the image I placed a greeting tag, again Nordic style.

I coloured the image using Copic markers and these are the colours I used.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

JADE'S SPARKLING BUTTERFLIES #17

JADE'S SPARKLING BUTTERFLIES

with the theme
BUTTONS & BOWS

And our lovely sponsor for this challenge is...
LACY SUNSHINE
Many thanks once again for sponsoring our challenge.

Here is my project for todays challenge.


 

I used the image

SLEEPY LAMB AGNES

I coloured the image using Copics
And these are the colours I used...

I started with a bright pink base card and layered it with a pale pink paper with white spots.
I matted the image on to a piece of dark blue card using foam pads to give it depth and dotted a few self adhesive gems here and there.
I wrapped a piece of bright pink ribbon around the pink spotted card, added a bow and a sparkly gem to the centre of the bow. Then I placed the matted image on to the pink spotted card and added a sentiment to the bottom left corner. I cut out some paper buttons in pink flowered paper and placed them above the image.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.
