Hello everyone!
Today's cards were supposed to go up earlier this week but technical difficulties took their time (I literally thought I'd lost HALF of the footage for the video - not fun. But it was all fixed in the end!!) but the video is all ready to go!
First off - this week's Color Throwdown Challenge:
You can check out what the rest of the Design Team created with these colors HERE <------click! and play along yourself if you'd like!
Here's what I made:
I started by playing around with Distress Inks and Distress Oxide inks along with Distress Mixed Media Heavystock paper. I usually do ink smooshing on Ranger Distress Watercolor paper but this time I thought I'd experiment with the Heavystock as it has a cream color to it which was perfect for this color challenge PLUS I was just curious to see what sort of results I'd get.
On this background I used both Distress Inks and Distress Oxide inks (all the colors are listed in the supplies below). I used Simon's Prismatic Snowflakes stamp set to white heat emboss the snowflakes all over the background and added a TON of white splatter with Picket Fence Distress Paint as I do for all the things lol!
I die cut the Sophie Snowflake wafer die from some mint card stock to back my Joy Script Dies. It's subtle but I also added some gold thread (I've linked to a couple of options in the supplies) behind the Joy script just to tie in the bits of gold I added to these cards.
The Joy word itself I made by spraying a piece of the Heavystock with Nuvo Sparkle Spray in Amethyst Shimmer. I then foiled a sheet of the Reverse Christmas Sentiment Strips using Gold Deco Foil and my Minc machine.
On the insides of the cards and on the cream envelopes I stamped the snowflakes from the Prismatic Snowflakes set using the same Oxide inks I'd used for the card fronts. I added some more of the foiled Reverse Christmas Sentiment Strips and that was it!
