It's time for a new challenge at Merry Monday! I hope you'll join me and the rest of the Merry Monday design team this week! Here's the inspiration photo and details for this week's challenge:
I created a clean and simple card featuring snowflakes punched from silver foil card stock. I love how they look against the Coastal Cabana background! The sentiment was stamped in silver metallic ink, then heat embossed to add a little extra shine. As a finishing touch, adhesive rhinestones were added to the center of each snowflake. I hope you like the final result as much as I do! Please leave me a comment below and let me know what you think!
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted:
Stamps: More Merry Messages
Paper: Coastal Cabana, Whisper White card stock; Silver Foil card stock (Recollections)
Ink: Encore Silver Metallic Ink
Tools: Heat gun, Embossing Buddy, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Large Himalayan Snowflake Punch (Martha Stewart), Medium Glacial Snowflake Punch (Martha Stewart), Medium Alpine Snowflake Punch (Martha Stewart)
Extras: Clear embossing powder, Stampin' Dimensionals, Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive
A beautiful clean design with the lovely silver ornaments and sentiment banner!
