Hello Everyone,
This week I am playing along with CASology - the current cue card is "Soft". Well we have had our first real snowfall of the winter season and I always think that the white blanket of snow gives the world a hushed softness - that was my inspiration for this card. I wanted a white on white soft touch with a highlight of soft colour. Here is my card:
The house die is an old one from Memory Box that I forgot I had. I used MFT stitched hill dies to create the hill and sponged the back panel with Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress Inks. I wanted the colour to fade softly from dark to light. I added some texture paste snowfall with the SSS Falling Snow stencil. I left the house white and used a soft yellow to illuminate the windows. The "Joyeux Noel" sentiment is from SSS last year. I love having the French sentiment as I live in a bilingual area and many of my co-workers are francophone. I am pleased with the result! I did add a touch of sparkle to my sentiment with a gel glitter pen.
Happy Stamping,
Meg

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Meg! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at CASology!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say "lucky you" to have had your first snow! Yes, it certainly brings to mind images of softness. I love your card. It is wonderfully inked and I love that stencil. I've just pulled it out recently too!
