I was lucky to win a gift certificate to Alleystamp for a win at Twofers challenge. I'd recommend you check them both out. Gave me a chance to order some Ken Oliver Color Burst powders! You sprinkle the powders & then spritz with water or the other way around--so fun! Here's my first background using Ultramarine Blue, Pthalo Green & Violet. I also used my new SSS Snowflake Block die & SSS Hello Friends stamp set. I used the die with self-adhesive Fun Foam--surprise, surprise, I know--haha! Discovered something new--using foam lets you reshape the die cut, so I glued it kind of wonky. Elizabeth Craft glitter provides a lot of sparkle. The sentiment is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black & I heat embossed a pewter snowflake brad to match. One of hubby's new-found cousins says our Christmas card never arrived, so hubby sent this one to them. Also want to let everyone know how great SSS Customer Service is. A promo code wouldn't work like it was supposed to, so they made it right plus covered my shipping costs. Can't beat that! I'm entering these challenges: SSS Flickr, Curtain Call, SSS Monday & CropStop. So glad you stopped by.
Wowza Greta, what a gorgeous background!! Love that you made the die cut wonky, looks terrific!!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful background you created, greta... gorgeous card! thinking I need some color burst powders now...
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card Greta, love how you bkground turned out. I am sooooo tempted to get some of these burst powders, only thing stopping me is the miles of paints, H2O's, silks powers etc etc. I totally love how you used the snowflake die, I have it and have only used the once but love the idea of using wonky, broadens the use.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty card! Love those fun colors!
ReplyDeleteI have no experience driving in cold weather too, I was so afraid when we were at Yosemite National Park this December!
A fantastic card Greta. Love the background you've made. I've got Brushos but haven't done a lot with them yet. I think you've inspired me. Barbxx
