Wednesdays Make

Hello everyone, how are you all doing?? 

This weeks Wednesday make is my entry for Creative Colour Challenges #117, you can join in too if you pop over to www.creativecolourchallenges.blogspot.com.  

The colours this week, once again for me, were a bit of a challenge - as I had none of the colours in ink.  Fortunately I did still have, one of my favourite sets from last year; Snowman Magic.

Because of the colour choice I thought I would incorporate a snowman in the card wearing a hat and scarf in these colours.  I decided to use the pool party for the base card.  I used my usual card base of 5 7/8 inches by 8 1/4, scorded and folded on the long side at 4 1/8.

I thought I would use the fancy frame die.  So, using the now retired shimmer white card I die cut the lovely snowflake frame.  I wanted to emboss my sentiment straight onto the card base using white embossing powder - but as you can see this just was not working as well as I hoped.

No matter how many times I tried this is how it turned out.  I have had the embossing powder for quite a while and is not a Stampin' Up! product; so I shall be purchasing some new white in the not to distant future.  Fortunately, I did have some silver and that worked a treat. 

Taking the dies for the snowman I cut his arms and nose from Copper Clay card (161730) and embossed his hat and scarf on azure afternoon (161728).  With the addition of a few basic rhinestones (144220) my project was complete.
