Kristina's Color Inspiration #34






I didn't think I was going to get to this challenge. I've been out most days trying to do my Christmas shopping. In fact, dear hubby and I were out today. When we came home a burst of energy hit me and down the stairs I went, off to my craft room. I'm so lucky, my honey even made dinner for himself and the kids so I could go play! I took a pretty literal interpretation on Kristina's picture. I actually had done another card with the colors arranged in a different order. Then, I decided to go with the way Kristina had them arranged on the Color Inspiration picture. I used the sentiment from Best Yet inked in Perfect Plum. I embossed the snowflakes in Snowflake Spot with white embossing powder. Afterwards, I thought about using versamark, for a softer look. I may try that next! The ribbon is White Taffeta. Thanks for stopping by to see my creation! I do look at all the entries! I love seeing everybody's ideas! OK, since I posted my first card I added two more! I had to try dry embossing and versamark! Which one do you like?

  3. Oh, it's sooo hard to choose! All three are absolutely gorgeous - of course, I love all things having to do with snow flakes. I think the dry embossing one is fabulous..but I like your first one as well - sparkly, like diamonds. Gonna just have to say, ALL THREE!

  13. Congrats for winning the top ten. I like the white embossed snowflakes but the dry embossed is very done. I have that folder so I can try it for one of my cards. Thanks for sharing your creative time.
