Take Three: Winter Day 2

Hey peeps!!!  So glad you dropped by for day 2 of the Take Three: Winter previews!  I have some exciting cards to share with you today.


CARD #1

I wanted to create a simple card with some WOW factor.  I was pleased with the focal image as it not only shines but it sparkles.  I love how the flourish image transcends the seasons and can be used for a number of types of cards.
I started by stamping the image first in white, then in black.  Then I placed versamark over the entire image and placed UTEE over top.  As it started to dry I sprinkled shimmer glitter over the top.  The effect in person is stunning and I am sure the photo does not do the image justice. Next I outlined the card base, stamped the sentiment, attached the ribbon and created a scalloped felt square to raise my focal image from the card.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Create card base and create outline using scor-pal.
2. Stamp image in white, then black.  Allow to dry.  Stamp versamark overtop.  
3. Pour UTEE over image, heat set and sprinkle glitter.
4. Cut out stamped image.  Cut out scalloped felt.
   
5. Attach ribbon trim.
   
6. Adhere focal image.

CARD # 2

I began with a card that could be winter themed but with these bright colours I was able to create warmth and excitement (check out that sentiment!!) and make it a card for all seasons.  I stamped all the flourish images in white ink and used some watercolour pencils to colour it in.  I love that "chalky look" and also love that there are so many elements I can colour in or leave blank.  The colour possibilities are endless.  I was able to tie in those colours with the cardstock and ribbon.
