Hey,
Welcome to 2021 and the first fun Retro Rubber challenge of the year AND our 150th challenge!!The majority of the team have been here since the beginning and I am super grateful for their talents and friendship. Big love to our leader Jane too for all of her hard work!
We love to start the new year with a Wintery challenge for you - it's pretty Wintery here in NYC (ugh!).
I really loved the quote from the Simon Says Stamp 'Winter Sayings' set that I have had since 2018 and barely used. It inspired my card and I paired it with 'Cute Snowflakes' also by SSS and it's one of my older sets, I've had it since 2016.

I stamped the background using 3 different colours of ink. I heat embossed the quote onto vellum - my fave thing to do if I want to show as much of the background as possible. The frame is actually from a tag set by MFT. I dug out an ancient freebie snowflake die, because I thought it looked a bit bare and then at the last minute I added some serious bling!
Here is a close-up for you.
I am super happy with how this came out. I love creating my own backgrounds.
How will you make a Wintery card? Be sure to pop over to Retro Rubber and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Your background is so well made and fun Claire, and just the perfect amount of bling! Wishing you all kinds of winter cheer, with Spring around the corner! Nancy J
ReplyDeleteI think the background you've made is gorgeous and the use of the framed vellum for the sentiment is a fabulous idea.
