Baby, It's Cold Outside - CAS on Friday Challenge #219

 

Thanks for joining me for another clean and simple challenge. WINTER is the theme for CAS on Friday challenge #219.

I couldn't resist using this adorable layering snowman die called Winston. He's so sweet! I love him in pastels too. Whole, he's too big for a CAS card so I gave him a little 'cameo' appearance, lol, and didn't use all the layers available.

I added some shimmer to the bottom layer of the scarf and the pieces that came out of the top layer made perfect snowflakes! 

Materials used:

• stamps - Tiny Text Christmas (Tim Holtz)
• card - very vanilla, watercolour
• distress oxide inks - salvaged patina, kitsch flamingo, vintage photo, carved pumpkin
• dies - Winston Colorize (Tim Holtz), layering circles (SU)
• other - blending brushes, heat tool, Big Shot, black rhinestones, salvaged patina embossing glaze, MISTI, clear Wink of Stella, tweezers, embossing buddy, Dimensionals, craft foam

We'd love for you to join us in our winter challenge and my fellow team members have more samples to inspire you.

Thanks for calling in.

Cheers

JAI #579 - Just Add Two

Welcome back to another Just Add Ink challenge. This week it's a 'just add two' where you pick two out of three elements to include in your design.

Yes, it's all about the shine! 

For my card I picked shimmer and glimmer - though I confess I had to look up the difference, lol. I discovered that glimmer is 'a faint light, a dim glow' while shimmer is 'a faint or veiled and tremulous gleam or shining'.  

Meet Winston the snowman - isn't he just the cutest? All my snow, including Winston, has been sprayed with white shimmer mist and has a kind of mother-of-pearl glow. 

And for my 'faint light' of glimmer, I popped three teeny tiny rhinestones on the berries in Winston's hat and used black gems for his eyes and buttons. 

Materials used:

• stamps - Tiny Text Christmas (Tim Holtz)
• ard - basic white, basic black, basic grey, pumpkin pie, real red, granny apple green, watercolour
• dies - Winston colorize (Tim Holtz), stitched rectangle (Paper Rose)
• distress oxide sprays - speckled egg, stormy sky
• other - white embossing powder, heat tool, white shimmer mist, rhinestones, black gems

We'd love to see your own shimmery/glimmery/foil creations in our gallery this week! And if you head over to the JAI blog, you'll find more shiny goodness to inspire you from my fellow DT members.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
