Creative Colour Challenge #116

Hello everyone, how are you all doing?  

Todays card is the card I created as my entry for the Creative Colour Challenge #116 over on https://creativecolourchallenges.blogspot.com.

Anyone can join in with this challenge.  You do not need a blog, just some card or ink in the right colours, and then upload a photograph.  It is so easy to take part, why don't you have a try,  CLICK HERE to find out more, and to join in the fun.

I was a little stuck this week, as I do not have any of these colours in ink, so it was down to just using card again.  I seem to be getting quite good at this!   

I saw a card that had been created by another Stampin' Up! demonstrator, and thought maybe I could CASE her idea - unfortunately I am not able to give her the credit as her name has deserted me.  It was also tricky in that I had promised myself that I would be making only Christmas cards from now on, as I am so far behind with those . 

I took my usual card base of 5 7/8 inches by 8 1/4 - I then scored at 4 1/8 inches, folded and burnished.  My card layer of Basic white was embossed with a snowflake embossing folder - Stampin' Up! are currently selling Snowflake Sky 3D folder (162026), which I admit would have been a much better folder to use. 

I then took a variety of circle dies and cut out various sized circles in the three colours.  I heat embossed each of these with snowflakes, in white, from last years Snowflake wishes - but the current set Sparkling Snowflakes - would be ideal.  

 

I popped each of the circles onto my embossed card layer, then heat embossed a sentiment from Snowman Magic (retired) onto a piece of Tahitian tide cardstock and popped it up with dimensionals. The finishing touch was to add a few basic rhinestones.

I was really quite pleased with my finished card - what do you think?

I hope you enjoyed my card today.  Alternatives to the stamp set and embossing folder used are all currently available form my online store at www.Stampinup.co.uk - remember to search for me by name (Hazel Southam-Feeney), and pop in my current host code TWNYB4G4 - which will enable me to send you some free products. 

Happy crafting!
