I'm trying a challenge I've never entered before - The Funkie Junkie challenge. The current one is "Icy and Cold" and seemed perfect as I needed to make a thank you card for my neighbours who did all my snow shovelling for me during our recent snowfalls (for health reasons, I'm not allowed to do any snow shovelling). Here's the card I made for them:
I started by laying a snowflake mask down on mixed media cs and sparayed with various blue, grey, and silver sprays. Once that was dry, I laid a snowflake stencil over it and used a glittery paste through it. Trimmed it, popped it up on fun foam, die cut "thanks" in black and its shadow die in white, and stamped "just a note of" on a scrap of white cs.
It's quite outside of my usual style but I'm really happy with the results. And it definitely looks icy and cold to me!
