YES... I was asked to be a guest designer at Indigoblu...
as inspiration for their challenge, LET IT SNOW.
as inspiration for their challenge, LET IT SNOW.
Being chosen as 1 of the top3, is of course, an inspiration to keep going on my art journey, and enjoy crafting. I have been joining in the Indigoblu challenge lots of times, and always hoped to be chosen, and then suddenly it happens with a card I'm not really happy with, LOL
Then the theme was a bit of a struggle... having only flowers, a butterfly and bubbles stamps from Indigoblu... and the theme being LET IT SNOW... I had to put my thinking caps on..
I thought of the saying "snowflakes are the flowers of winter... ",

I started with a beautiful shimmery scrapbookpaper with lots of
white snowflakes on it.
I sponged it with Distress inks to make
the snowflakes pop.
From a leftover piece I cut a few snowflakes
to adhere it to the card later on.
I chose to keep the flowers not
that intense with color, so it became part of the background.
They
were adhered to the card with 3D glue.
I also added some 'Crystal
Ice' ICE Stickles to the centres of the flowers and snowflakes.
Pity you can't see all the glamour and bling going on on this card.

Quite fun our 2 cards featured on the same post today, we must have similar taste in stamps! My card was rather OTT on the bling but your is delightfully subtle, with just the right touch of Stickles.
ReplyDeletePrachtige kaart Ellie!!
