Warm Thoughts

Hello crafters!  Here is a real easy one but with a lovely look to it.  I cut a Reflective Moments in coconut white to use as the basis for my focal element.  On another piece of coconut white card, I stamped the Quilted background using a clear Perfect Medium pad.  I stamped over it with the snowflake from the Justrite Christmas Applique stamp set using a black Archival ink pad.  I randomly stamped them all over the background.  Next I used Stormy Sky distress ink and covered the entire piece.  The background becomes a sort of ghost image in the back to my snowflakes in the foreground.  I cut it to size to fit my die cut and added both pieces to some dark blue card.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it
 into a flag and added it across the card.  I stamped one more snowflake in blue ink on white card, covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet and then coated it with Iced Snow.  I cut it out by hand and added it to the sentiment with a pearl centre.  I finished the card with a white pierced mat layer,
 a thin blue mat then a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size.

With everything that has been going on I almost forgot to tell you that I was asked to host a challenge this month on the Scrapology blog.  Why don't you pop over and take a look.  Go ahead and enter a card in the challenge, the directions are at the bottom of the post.   There will be some of my dies for prizes too.  Here is the link: http://scrapology-adventuresinscrapbooking.blogspot.com/

I know that we have hit our goal on the blog candy contest, however, it is going to have to wait a few weeks before I am able to do the drawing, just to let you know.  All for now, Sue x
