Just Add Ink Challenge # 295

Happy Friday everybody!! Only one more day to get thru before the weekend can be enjoyed! It also means its time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink.  For this weeks challenge we have a sketch to inspire you:


For some reason when I saw this sketch, I immediately thought of snowflakes. I received some snowflake dies before Christmas which never got an outing, so thought I would take them for a spin:

This was a very simple card to put together. I die-cut the snowflakes (from Little B 'Holiday') from silver-glitter CS and also from white CS and glued them together, for a bit more stability and dimension. I used my mini-blending tool and Distress Ink 'Peacock Feathers' to create the background and then adhered the snowflakes like the sketch. I then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment (from CAS-ual Fridays 'Must Love Snowflakes') in silver.

I have three challenges I would like to enter:

CAS on Sunday Challenge # 74 (Winter)

AAA Card Challenge # 56 


Stamplorations CAS Card Challenge - January 


You have until next Wednesday to link your projects to the Just Add Ink Challenge and if you need any help with ideas and inspiration, please visit the blog to see what the rest of the Design Team have created for you. Can't wait to see you in the Gallery!!

Take care
Shona
