** 12/5/18 Winner at Creative Inspirations! **
Hi everyone! Gosh, the time is just flying by… here we are in the middle of November! I shared a couple weeks ago that I’m guest designing for Polkadoodles for the next couple months, and I’m rapidly becoming a Polkadoodles addict, lol! A new challenge is live over at Polkadoodles Craft Challenge and I’m super stoked to share my guest designer project with you, a pretty winter blues card. I’m still adding to my Christmas card pile and this one will go out in the mail to a special person in a couple of weeks!
I started with the totally adorable Snowballs and Snowmen – Winnie White Christmas image and heat embossed Iridescent Sparkle and then Clear over the entire image, trimmed it and rounded the edges. It’s layered multiple times on silver mirror cardstock, blue cardstock and two types of blue paper, one of them being Polkadoodles digital paper from the Winnie Winterland – Big Kahuna Digital Craft Download Bundle. All corners were rounded for a smooth look.
Here’s an angled shot in hopes that you can see all the snowy goodness on the image! That Iridescent Sparkle embossing powder is awesome! You can also see the bi-level card base – the front flap is cut about an inch shorter than the back. The sentiments are also from the Winnie Winterland – Big Kahuna Digital Craft Download Bundle.
I layered the inside sentiment on the blue Polkadoodles digital paper and layered a wide strip across the bottom so the blue shows when the card is closed. What fun this was and I love the way it turned out!
