Big news for me today! I've been asked to join The Paper Players challenge as a guest designer for 2021. It's such an honor to have been asked to join this talented group! They have fun and varied challenges and I'm looking forward to stretching my creativity to keep up with their high bar (and the weekly format). Any reason to 'have' to do some stamping is a good thing!
To celebrate I'm playing along with The Paper Players last challenge of 2020 which is a fantastic color challenge, silver, white and black!
Now that I've mailed out all my Christmas cards it's time to look forward so I decided to design a Happy New Years card and of course the Snowflake Wishes set is perfect for a crisp clean look with these challenge colors.
The card starts with a Whisper White thick base then a layer of Whisper White embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder. I sponged some silver ink around the edge for a bit of definition.
Using the Layering Circles dies I cut a Basic Black ring and then layered my silver ink stamped snowflakes around it with dimensionals. I added on smaller snowflake cut from the retired Galvanized Metal cardstock.
The banner is stamped and embossed with a long retired stamp from the Good Greetings stamp set. I popped it with dimensionals and added a black bakers twine bow.
The last touches are the iridescent sequins for a bit of shine.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
