Sounds pretty icky doesn't it?? I mean who'd want a card w/ *brown* snowflakes??? Well I for one wouldn't mind one! I never would have at first but after seeing some GORGEOUS samples on SCS and coming across this week's Limited Supplies Challenge I thought "Eh, why not??"
Don't get me wrong - I've used brown for a snowflake before (on this card) but I used Whisper White and Bashful Blue too so the brown was a small accent. To use only shades of brown for a snowflake card tho? I wasn't sure if I could pull it off. But I did - and here's the end result:
I used my large Monogram S stamp and the Kissing Technique (scroll down to the Kissing w/ Small Stamps - that's what I did) using Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip w/ the Snowflakes set. After stamping it on Whisper White I cut it out and mounted it on Choc Chip CS and then cut it out again. I mounted it to the card using dimensionals.
I used the same inks and the snowflakes on the rectangle of Whisper White CS - sometimes double and triple stamping w/out re-inking. I sponged the edges w/ Creamy Caramel.
I used the Rough Texture Jumbo Wheel on the Close to Cocoa CS and the Rough Around the Edges Jumbo Wheel on the Creamy Caramel (I love the look of these - I need to pull them out and use them more often - I always forget that I have them!).
The little tag I created w/ my Word Window Punch (punched it out of Whisper White then punched it again to make it smaller) and I hand wrote the "Snow". I sponged it w/ Creamy Caramel and tied it to the S w/ Linen Thread.
I added a few stitches to the 2 corners and a couple of buttons then mounted it all on a piece of Choc Chip and then onto a Whisper White (sponged w/ Creamy Caramel) card base.
