Hello and thank you for joining us for Retro Rubber Challenge Blog's Challenge 54! The challenge this time involves using a stamp one year old or older, and the following theme, snow. Beneath is the challenge graphic and the card I created for the challenge.
To create this card, I used a white invitation sized card, folded. I took a piece of silver metallic card stock, rounded the edges, and stamped the snowflakes shown using a stamp set I have owned for at least a year, from Recollections named Christmas Noel. I just love this set because it has 10! beautiful snowflakes of various sizes and designs!
Using Versamark embossing ink, I stamped the snowflakes onto the cardstock. I then used light blue embossing powder and my heat gun to melk the powder. I added gems to the center of every snowflake. In Microsoft Word, I typed the text and printed onto card stock. I trimmed the cardstock and added the strip to the card front using dimensional adhesive.
This card was super easy and fun to make. I would love you to join our challenge, and I would love to see your creation! Please create something fun now! Then join us back a week from Sunday at the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog to see who has won this challenge! Best of luck!
oooohhhh... embossing on the silver is so elegant looking! And aren't you smart to make your own sentiment! Great card, Christine!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable sentiment that you came up with. Absolutely awesome that your stamp set has 10 variety flakes of all sizes.. Now that's what I call options. You did a fabulous job.
ReplyDeleteChristine, love the embossed snowflakes with the rhinestones. And I love the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteClean and simple and perfect! Making the sentiment that fits the theme in MS word, great idea! I too have collected the Recollections sets, some of them are really great!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Christine! I love your pretty CAS card! The stamps are wonderful and the sentiment is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI do like the snowflakes in blue. They're lovely! I've never ever thought to actually just print out the sentiment I wanted like this - it's a revelation! I was so trying to find a stamp that said 'warm' so I could have 'warm wishes' on ly card and all along there was a solution! Thanks so much for the idea.
ReplyDeleteLove your snowy and beautifully CAS card Christine, the embossed snowflakes really pop with all that bling.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Maria.
Christine! You are channeling some serious CAS my friend! I really like that gray with the blue snowflakes. Those flakes really pop! Fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jane, this is serious CAS here. I love the heat embossed snowflakes and that sentiment is so fun. Great card. Cx
