Hi! Scooted out from behind the craft desk to post the pics of the card I finished last night. My mom is recovering super-fast from her knee replacement but she wasn't quite up to the challenge of the 12 dozen cookies for an exchange she signed up for at Church, so I spent a few hours at her house yesterday baking up my favorite standby... chewy chocolate cookies. I'm not a death by chocolate girl, but these I love. The batter tastes like good chocolate cake, and the cookies are chewy like a good brownie. Yum! Anyway, didn't get as much time in the craft room this weekend so this is the only thing I have completely finished so far. Of course, there's still a few hours left to the day! =)
This is my first attempt at White on White. I've seen so many
really pretty WoW cards that I figured I had to have a try.
I do like how I've colored my little Pure Innocence digi, but lesson learned about Liquid Pearls. I did that first, figuring that if I messed up, I'd toss it in the bin and start over. Then I colored my image. THEN I decided I wanted to use a deckle-edged Nestie to cut her out... surprise, surprise - embossing with a Nestie will flatten out Liquid Pearl dots. LOL Oops! They still look ok, but it's funny -the back of the image has all these little humps now. Fortunately no one but me will see that!
I used Frosted Lace Stickles on the snow (since my fave Stardust has colored bits), pearlized white paper for the snowflakes (Martha Stewart) and two embossing plates from Sizzix - winter wishes and snowflakes. A bit of white grosgrain to hide the seam and a couple of pearls to center on the snowflakes.
I like the image, but I'm not sure I like the rest of it. Maybe it's too simple. I didn't want to hide all the embossing, but I might try a flourish cut-out or swirl or something when I make another one. I also missed inking all my edges... I think I'm addicted to that now. LOL
This one's just going in the Crafting for 4 All Seasons -
Challenge #14 White on White.
That's it for now - happy crafting, everyone, and see you soon!
