Hey Everyone

A weekend at home and I was finally able to catch up with some crafting and even managed to create a card for the latest challenge at Global Design Project.

This weeks challenge is to CASE the Designer, the super talented Stesha Bloodhart! Stesha makes divine cards and as you can see below, the card we are CASEing is really divine.

I don’t mind a bit of roughed up edges for my cards. It creates a bit of a vintage look that I love.

I roughed up the edges of both the Basic White Cardstock and DSP from the Penguin Playmates DSP. I then had to hand cut the circle as I have no idea where my circles dies have hidden themselves – the roughed up edges hide the fact that it’s not a perfect circle. To create a somewhat snowy background, I flicked the Dark Soft Suede Blend on to the cardstock and used a Blending Brush to add to some shading about the cardstock.

I took some Kraft Cardstock and cut two trees with the Majestic Mountain Dies. These dies are my go-to when I want trees for Christmas cards. I then stamped the snowman from the Snow Wonder Stamp Set. I gave the snowman colour with my Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Fresh Freesia Blends.

The sentiment I’ve fussy cut is from the Snow Wonder Stamp Set. This sentiment is one stamp, but I’ve cut it in to two sentiments so that I could layer them separately – I think it creates balance to my layers.

The final thing I added was a Gold Ribbon and Linen Thread detail.

Here’s my card:

Thanks for stopping
