I couldn't wait to use my Cozy Sweater die again, but this time for winter/ski season/sweater weather. For our first Just Us Girls Challenge of 2023, #661, Lisa K. chose the colors navy, light blue and white, which are colors I really like using. Here is what I came up with for this challenge. Please join us this week!!
I am also entering it at the Four Seasons Challenge: Winter.
Ellen Hutson: Cozy Sweater Tag die
Ranger: Distress inks
Stampin' Up!: rhinestones and snowflake sequins
White gel pen
I die cut the sweaters out of the colors of our challenge, then tried some arrangements on my 5" x 7" panel. I adhered them, then cut off the excess that hung over the edges of my panel. I cut a second 5" x 7" panel and scored along one long edge at 1/4". I put red line tape along that same edge and adhered the front panel on top of it by butting them both up to the top left corner of my scoring board. The back panel folds away from the front panel along the score line to be able to open the card. (I had to do this because I only have 8 1/2" x 11" card stock for my bases, but would have needed 5" x 14" for a 5" x 7" card base.) Next, I found the Hello die cut and vellum shadow in my stash and ink blended the hello with blue inks for an ombré effect. I used a white gel pen to make falling snow on the word. Not sure if I like it...I was going for the winter look with the sweaters so I thought snow on the word might keep with the theme. Then I added the snowflakes and rhinestones and was finished!
We look forward to you playing along with us this week...it's an easy one! Check out all of the design team's ideas as well by clicking on their names above their cards!
