It's cold outside


This is my design card for today's Sweet Pea Stampers challenge: it's cold outside.  Please click on the link and see the wonderful creations of the rest of the team - and please join in the challenge - there's always a voucher to be won!

The image is 'snow fae' by Rachel Anderson. I printed this digital image on some light aqua card and then brushed over it with a mix of peacock feathers and broken china distress inks.

I used a couple of offcut strips of aqua/turquoise mirror card on the sides with an embossed piece of card brushed with the distressed inks in the middle - I used the A4 'star of wonder' Embossalicious embossing folder with my eBosser. Ribbon with gems was from Hobbycraft. Snowflakes were punched from scraps.

It is do difficult to get a photo of a card that has mirror card on it - I tried and tried and this is the best I could do. Unfortunately, it doesn't show the image as well as it is in real life.You need to look at it 'head on' to see it clearly.

  50. This is such a beautiful card! As for taking a picture with a mirror in it, I think you did a good job . . . it is kinda like trying to take a good picture of glitter, it can be a hit or miss type of thing. But again, I think you did a GREAT job with it!!! Thanks for joining us this week for our "Anything Goes" challenge over at Clear It Out Challenge. Hope to see you join us again soon! (and Good Luck!!!)
