I'm finally getting caught up on last weeks challenges on Splitcoaststampers. I definitely find that the challenges are helping me get my creative juices flowing. I've spent the last few days in a stamping frenzy and created more cards than I have in a very long time!
The color combo challenge was to use Basic Gray, Soft Sky and Purely Pomegranate. I LOVE these colors! My finished card looked nothing like what I started out making, but I like where the creative process took me.
The glittery Basic Gray strip of card stock was created by applying Sticky Strip to the card stock and embossing with Iridescent Ice EP. It doesn't really show up in the picture, but the fancy letters in the sentiment are traced with the Stardust Gelly Roll Pen to give them glimmer to match the rest of the glitter and glitz in the card. I was originally going to put a focal image in the upper left corner, but nothing seemed right, so I decided to just add pearls to the centers of the snowflakes.
Happy Stamping!
