Soft and Silent Snow


I really love this sentiment by George W. Bungay. I detected it on some Around The Block dp, and as it seems I was stamping snowflakes today all day round (well, at least those sixty minutes I managed to stay in my craft room, LOL), I thought this would be the perfect day to use this scrap on a card.
This week's Res-Q-Challenge was to use felt on a card. So I die-cut this felt snowflake with a cuttlebug die and added a rhinestone. I sponged the dp with Colorbox Fluid Chalks Blue Iris a bit darker in the top right corner to make the snowflake contrast a bit better. Snowflake dp by Frances Meyer.

Admire The Snowflakes!



Snowflakes are so beautiful!
This week's Splitcoaststampers Limited Supplies Challenge "Instant Replay - create two cards with the same main image and color scheme but different layouts" was a real stretch to me - I love to play around with different stamps and rarely use the same stamp twice a day - another day, yes, of course, but not twice the same day... But I really love this American Art Stamps image, so I tried to create two cards in the same color scheme but with different layouts.
Thw snowflake background is by Hero Arts, sentiment on the tall card is by Butterer, sentiment on the square card is handwritten. Both cards are colored with Twinkling H2Os. The snowflake background on the tall card is stamped with blue Memento ink, the snowflake border on the square card with Brilliance.
Which card do you like better?
