Lindy's Gang January Color Challenge Card

      With the new year, comes new resolutions, and one of mine last year was to enter all of Lindy's Gang Color Challenges. I came close, but missed last November and December, so thought I'd start again with this card for January, and my first post for 2021. 

     The snowflakes were stamped with the Bo Bunny Snowflakes Stamp, and embossed with Lindy's Gang (Silver Moon Turquoise) Embossing Powder. Then I applied Finnabair (Platinum Crackle) Texture Paste to the edges, and let it air dry, before spritzing with Lindy's Gang Sprays (Pop Rock Purple and Afternoon Delight Denim), and adding snow splatters with (Sidewalk Chalk). 

     The chipboard Snowflakes from Creative Embellishments are new, and were covered with Prima Heavy White Gesso. Then they got embossed with LG (Silver Moon Turquoise and Hollyhock Scarlet Plum) Embossing Powders. For some extra sparkle and texture, I applied Finnabair (Crushed Ice) Effect Paste (also new) to the snowflakes and card edges. 

     Finally, the sentiment was embossed with LG (Hollyhock Scarlet Plum) Embossing Powder. 

     Thanks for looking, and hope your year has gotten off to a great start!

Mini Medallions Winter Birthday Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     Instead of stamping snowflakes on this winter birthday card, I decided to use the Mini Medallions Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp from Red Rubber Designs!

     I took my inspiration from the November Card Sketch Challenge @ Scrapbook.com with this beautiful bonus sketch!

      The background was done with Lindy's Stamp Gang Magical Sassy Sapphire and some silver sprays. Without attaching it, I placed a large snowflake onto the wood strip of paper, and masked it with silver sprays. Then I lined up the snowflake onto my background and masked it with white gesso. Once dry, I distressed and machine-stitched the edges. Next, I layered it with a snowflake die covered with Stickles, and a leftover flower that I made using my Water Flower Tutorial. I just added some Blending Solution to lighten up the alcohol ink. In the center, I added a chipboard circle covered with gesso, and embossed with the Mini Medallions stamp. For some more sparkle, I added silver glittery branches, and some bling to the middle of my medallion.

     I also embossed another design from the Mini Medallions stamp onto a chipboard circle, placed onto a chipboard snowflake that I covered with gesso, dry painted, and applied some Distress Crazing Medium to. 

     The sentiment was embossed onto a wood banner piece that I also covered with white gesso, using the Sweet Sayings Unmounted Stamp. I finished it off with a mini silver brad.
