It's time for another Make It Monday! This week Michelle Leone is the host and shows us how we can use some of those tiny stamps in our sets to create fun backgrounds. This was very easy to do and looks great - so it's something I want to use again in the future. You can watch her informative video here: Make It Monday #332: Petite Pattern Play and try it out.
I die-cut a square from scrap paper to use as my template and stamped the snowflakes in Hawaiian Shores ink. I trimmed the panel, placed it on a piece of True Black cardstock and adhered both to a Hawaiian Shores cardstock card base.
The adorable bear is die-cut in white cardstock and stamped with black ink. I added his Hawaiian Shores sweater, just stamping the image on it. He's on foam tape for dimension. The sentiment is also stamped in black ink. I added silver Stickles to the snowflake centers and eyelash glitter around the spine of the card.
Riddle me this: Does making a winter type card, when the heat index is close to 100°, make a person feel any cooler? The answer is a big fat NO.😁 "Only" forty five days until Fall now. 👏

This is great, Lainey! I do love that polar bear in his little sweater. Yeah, I’ve been working at some fall-ish/wintery cards. And nope...doesn’t cool me off. :p Thank goodness for our AC (hate to see our bill for July).

ReplyDeleteWarmest Wishes is a favorite set of mine, so this card is FABULOUS Lainey!! I love the bear in his Hawaiian Shores sweater against the snowflakes...truly a wonderful card!! It's been hot here too and I'm ready for some cooler temps like you!!
ReplyDeleteAwe, Lainey, this is so stinking cute in Hawaiian Shores, black & white! Warmest Wishes is still on my wish list, and I think this card bumped it to the top. You’re dreaming about cooler temps soon, right? We actually had some much-needed rain this morning before we left home.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Great take on this week's challenge, Lainey.
