Hello, everybody! Today I'm sharing another winter card but this time it's a thank-you card!
I started with the background, which I made using the ink-smooshing technique and Distress Inks. It looked a bit plain so I added stencilled snowflakes. I adhered a die-cut snowy landscape and then die-cut the panel with a stitched scalloped rectangle. I coloured the snowman and kitty with markers, fussy-cut, and then adhered with foam tape. I tied some twine at the top, with a tiny tag that says "hugs" and a metal snowflake charm. At the bottom of the card, I stamped the sentiment. Finally I matted the die-cut panel on kraft cardstock.
Clear stamps:
STAMPlorations Winter Chill (snowman and sentiment),
STAMPlorations Purrfectly Pawsome (cat), A. Jillian Vance DieLuxe Tiny Tags (hugs word)
Ink: Background (Distress Inks Broken China, Tumbled Glass), stencilling (Stampin' Up Tempting Turquoise), stamping (Lawn Fawn Jet Black, Versafine Onyx Black)
Stencil: Hot Off the Press Snowfall (I was unable to find a link so it might be retired)
Dies: Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Stitched Nested Rectangles, Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders, A. Jillian Vance DieLuxe Tiny Tags
Other: American Crafts twine, snowflake charm
