We just finished cleaning up after being walloped by a major snow storm. Our driveway and walkways are clean right down to the pavement, but I can't say the same for our street. Even thought a payloader was used, there is still only one lane cleared, and it's not very clear.
It is gorgeous out there , if you love snow. We just don't have anywhere else to put it!
We normally have very mild winters, without a lot of snow, and usually none until January and it should be pretty much gone by now. Our snow is so deep, I don't think I'll see my tulips until July! There is more coming this weekend !
Since we really aren't able to go anywhere, I thought it would be fun to take another Online Card Class. This one is about finding ways to get more use from your dies. I think we are up to Day 4, but this is my card for Day 1, which was about word dies. I used an Impression Obsession die from their Greetings set and cut it out multiple times in white card stock and replaced them with ones cut in black.
I carefully used a Swiss dots embossing folder above and below the inlaid part. I stamped, heat embossed. and diecut the flowers from the SSS Summer Garden stamp and die set. I thought I would like the flowers in colour better, but I didn't care for it at all, so all I added was some Wink of Stella. I mounted the front panel on SSS black cardstock, so a bit shows at the top and bottom.
It is much nicer IRL where you can see the shimmer. I'm finally getting one of those photo light boxes, so maybe I'll be able to take pictures that will show shimmer in the future. :)
Wow, Shona, you have had some snow and I shouldn't be complaining here in NC. LOL I love your card and will CAS it somehow!! The black an white is always so elegant and the way you added the layered image for dimension is lovely! What a keeper! Great to be back and be inspired.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Shona, love the black and white. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you learn in the workshop :) Wow you sure have a LOT of snow. We had a lot (but not as much as down there) and we still have some but can also see grass again. Take care, Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteGreetings Shona, wow that is a lot of snow. We here in the Pacific Northwest are having the opposite winter weather. Warm, not too much rain and no snow. Love embossed background, black lettering and fabulous flower.
