It actually feels wintery here in Vancouver today - frost on all the roofs, chilly temperatures (going down to -7C tonight which is cold for us). So what better day to do some winter-themed challenges?
For the Four Seasons Challenge "Winter", I was inspired by the top left image of their mood board with the blue sky and white tree.
I made a smooshed background with blue Distress inks, tore a strip of white cs for the snowy ground, die cut a tree and a deer out of white cs and put my scene together.
The Stencil Fun Challenge has an optional theme of winter. And The Sisterhood of Crafters want snowflakes.
I stencilled the background with light blue inks, added a die cut snowflake and a round sentiment cut from blue shimmer cs.
Supplies for card 1:
Stamps - unknown sentiment
Ink - various blue Distress inks
Paper - white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - TH tree die, reindeer die, sentiment banner die
Supplies for card 2:
Ink - light blue Distress inks
Paper - white cs, blue shimmer cs
Size - A2
Accessories - TCW Winter Wonderland stencil, TH snow die and snowflake die
Gorgeous winter sky and I love the contrast with the white deer and tree, your second card is so elegant with the stenciled snowflakes.

Two lovely winter snow card designs! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snowy cards, Susan! Definitely the right weather to inspire you! :) LOVE your smooshed background with that lovely tree die and deer. Your snowflake card is so gorgeous with the soft, turquoise sponged stenciling and your big, bold snowflake. Beautiful!! xx
ReplyDeleteThe blue ink smooshed background look great with the pretty die cut tree and deer over the top Susan, and then another wonderful blue, more turquoise in colour on the second and blended as a super background to the stencilled and die cut snowflakes, and the circular blue glitter card sentiment to finish is just perfect. x
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are just fabulous Sue! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at the Sisterhood of Crafters, Four Seasons and Stencil Fun challenges! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
