Vintage Christmas

Here is my entry for the GC-80 Color Challenge - Vintage Hues over at Gingersnap Creations Blog

I am also entering this in Vicki's Challenge #6 -Twas the Night Before . . . over at the Cheerful Stamppad

All stamps are from a Vintage Christmas sheet from Wild Frog Creations.  Once again, this is an oversized card.  I seem to be making a lot of bigger cards recently.  This one would be good for a masculine card I think.

North Pole & Company

This post has been editied, scroll down a bit to see the Snow Woman card that I added it this morning after deciding she needed dressed.  This card is an oversized 8 1/2" X 5 1/2".

I always seem to be a day late on challenges and then miss them completely.  So this card will be late for only one challenge and only because it's still the 4th here, but it's the 5th overseas . . . sigh.  Without further ado, here is my SnowWoman:

Too bad all the sparkle, glitter and foils don't show up in the scan.  Snow Woman is made using the Fashion Doll stamp from Wild Frog Creations.   Snow at the bottom is actually sparkly white super thin layers of sea shell with glitter.  Snow on background is spattered white paint.  Snowflakes are foil punched, confetti and charms.  Snow woman's hair is also snowflakes. Stick on the sign is a wooden skewer.

Sketch used is from Cardabilities Design Team Reveal - Sketch # 16 :

Here is the card after I decided to dress the Snow Woman.  I like it better, but it did hide an element of the sketch.  Before I send this card out, I will tone down the color of the snowflakes that make up her hair.  I meant this card to be semi monotone with lots of spark and glitter.  Somehow, it looks good in person, but I think the scan just turned out blah.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

1.Cardabilities Design Tean Reveal - Sketch # 16
