Berry

This is my first card as a design team member of a brand new blog called Christmas at Sweet Stampin', and I can't tell you how excited I am to be here and part of this talented group!  This month's challenge theme is Cold & Frosty and believe me, living in Saskatchewan Canada in January... well, I know all about cold & frosty and frosty & cold!  We are on our way to spring though... December 21 was the shortest day and they get longer from here on in so I am looking forward to green grass and leaves on the trees.
My Mums Craft Shop is sponsoring the challenge and are giving the winner a £10 voucher to the shop.


For my card, I used one of Purple Onion's designs by Stacey Yacula and this fabulous image is Berry.  The paper is from the 12 Days of Christmas collection by My Mind's Eye and the sentiment is one from Papertrey's Friendship Jar Fillers.  The snowflakes are from Stampin Up's Snowflake set and after heat embossing them with Ranger's Sticky embossing powder, I sprinkled some of  Ranger's Dry Find Stardust Stickles and then heat set it again.  Amazing how that glitter dries right into the embossing. I sponged in some shading with Tim Holtz's Pumice Stone distress ink, added some liquid Stickles for snow and then free-handed the lines and dots around the paper.  The corner die is Memory Box's Frostyville Wreath.  Lastly, the Copic colours are:
Snowman:  W0 , W1, W3
Nose:  E99, E97, E95
Arms: E11, E13, E19
Scarf: Y0000, Y00, Y17; BG000, BG13, BG23

So, now if you want to see a little more of Cold & Frosty, be sure to head on over to Christmas at Sweet Stampin' to see what the rest of the design team has to share.
