It's time for a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!
This week our theme is Let it Snow! You can do anything that has to do with snow - snowmen, snowflakes, you get the picture. I was in a pink mood this week:
I started with this old peachy pink snowflake design paper, not even sure where it comes from. I colored this darling snowman from Hero Arts Snow Much Joy set in pink and brown, and added some pink pearl berries, then cut him out. Next I tore a snowbank, and stamped my sentiment from Miracle of the Holidays in Soft Blossom ink. And to finish I die-cut 3 of the Simon exclusive Eliza Snowflakes, glued them together for more bulk, and attached that to my card. Really simple to make, but it makes me smile - hope it does you, too!
I used a hotter shade of pink for my next card: it was stencilled with picked raspberry distress ink:

The stencil is Dyan Reaveley's Let It Snow, which I used last week with embossing paste and glitter. I cut my panel in half and popped it above my card base, on which I'd stamped and silver embossed my sentiment. Other supplies: Lawn Fawn Let It Snow (sentiment), Ranger Super Fine Detail silver embossing powder, Darice silver sparkle tape, pink and clear rhinestones.
