The weather is definitely starting to get chilly these days, which makes it perfect to be inside and making cards!
Today's card is a bright and cheery holiday card. I used the Snowflake Medley and the Think Big Favorites #8 stamp sets from Papertrey ink for this. I stamped the snowflakes with pumpkin pie, melon mambo, and certainly celery inks from Stampin' Up!.
The sentiment is stamped in black. I thought the card looked a little plain, so I added some silver striped washi tape and bakers twine to the card. The front panel is mounted on pumpkin pie cardstock from Stampin' Up!.
I like how this card turned out, but the ink seemed to really saturate the stamp and all the pretty "etchings" in the snowflakes weren't visible. So, I re-did the card with some distress inks, but with the same layout.
Since the snowflakes looked a little bland by themselves again, I stamped some small ones in the center using antique linen distress ink. I like how it turned out AND I like that it was easy and simple to make!
That's all for today! Thanks for stopping by!
