The challenge I tried today was from Colour Q. I love all of Jim Shore's figurines so I wanted to play along.
After trying several different stamp sets, I settled on Serene Snowflakes. I love making blue Christmas cards when I'm using any snowflakes, so I'm not surprised I chose that set. I embossed my snowflakes and used the embossed resist technique, but I have to say the finished product didn't look as good as I thought it would. The 3 blue colors were too close to the same color and I didn't get the definiton I wanted. Or maybe it was just the way I blended them. But we all make cards we're not really crazy about, so I decided to post this one anyway!!
Supplies:
Stamp sets - Serene Snowflakes, Teeny Tiny Messages
Cardstock - Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Marina Mist
Ink - Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Whisper White Craft
Accessories - White Embossing powder, Marina Mist 5/8" satin ribbon, Modern label, word window, and large oval punches, Stampin' sponges
Great job on your inking.

ReplyDeleteOh, I think it's very pretty! I know sometimes those blues don't look like they go together, I thought the same thing making my card! But I think it's lovely! Thanks for playing with the CQC this week!
