Winter sure has hit the country with snow and all the single digits/below zero wind chill temperatures lately! This week at Just Us Girls Challenge #710 we have a fabulous winter moodboard from Lisa! It has a cozy feel and couldn't have come at a better time. I took a few elements from it and here is my card.
Ellen Hutson: Cozy Sweater Tag die
CAS-ual Fridays: Coffee Cup die
Pretty Pink Posh: Winter Wonderland stamp set
Stampin' Up!: Snowflake thinlit die
The Greetery: Coaster die
Concord and 9th: Mini ink pad in Mushroom
Pink and Main: Large Sentiment Strip dies
Ink blending brush
The resulting scene reminds me of teaching and living in snowy climates, and the bonus of snow days every winter. It was so nice to stay home and get a day to avoid the elements. I'd enjoy putting on a warm sweater and sweats, sitting under a cozy blanket while having a hot cup of something to drink, looking out at the falling snow. I know I did some stamping, too.
For my card I spattered some watered down white acrylic paint on the white card base that I had ink blended with soft grey ink. I did not punch out all of the snowflake bits because this die has never been easy to cut and release those pieces. Still, I like the patterns in them.
We hope you will find inspiration in this moodboard and in the cards we made for you. Come play along!!

I just love how well this card turned out. You captured the moodboard perfectly! The texture on the sweater is just perfect and the cup of Joe of course!
Snow days require coziness and your card is the epitome of all that! Love that pretty sweater, the "blanket it's laying on and the wonderful sentiment. Such a sweet card, Carol!

Perfect embossed sweater for a great inspired card!
Carol, I had to come tell you that I knew exactly what to reach for [dig for?] when I saw your darling little mug!
Oh, I'd SO wear that sweater! Thanks for your influence!

I love the warm and cozy half of your card, Carol, but the other half is still pretty. Too bad you can't have beautiful snowflakes in warmer weather. ;)
I love all of the elements you pulled together on this awesome design! From the snowflakes to the sweater and cup of coffee or could be cocoa. Great take on the Moodboard!
Fabulous take on that awesome mood board Carol. Loooooooooooove that sweater.
