I don't usually do any fancy fold cards & I've never made a Z fold card until now. Hate to miss any PTI MIM challenges & Ashley's card is darling. The cutting & folding was easy, but I was a little stumped with what to do next! Ended up sponging & splattering with DI blueprint sketch & wilted violet on the panels that show from the front.
Then I watercolored stripes for the inside center panel. Images from Snowflake Flurries were stamped in Delicata Silvery Shimmer, except for the back panel.
I used my Mini MISTI to stamp the silver sentiment & get it dark enough. The die cut snowflake was also done with the MISTI so I could stamp it multiple times with both colors. I covered it with Wink of Stella, clear embossed & finished with a silver glitter Nuvo Drop.
Not sure I'll actually send this one, but it was fun to try something different. I've already started another one using the rest of that 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock--can't let it go to waste! I'm also entering Rudolph Days.
PTI Stamp A Faire starts today--always fun with so many challenges to try. I have a fun event tomorrow, but will still have plenty of time to play along as the deadline isn't until Aug. 31. We don't get hurricanes or tornadoes (very few)--one reason we love it here. I can't imagine what so many people are dealing with today as Harvy approaches the US & pray everyone stays safe. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
You used one of our old favorites, Snowflake Flurries, yay! Hero Arts blog has a card today that would be easy to replicate with this same set. I'm gonna try it sometime soon.

ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in the August Rudolph Days Challenge.
Great card Greta. You did well.
ReplyDeleteApologies for being MIA, Greta; lots of changes happening, including moving to a new house in a new town and making the decision not to teach any longer. That, along with travel/bike race officiating/diploma exam marking...and just 'everything' sees me just a bit overwhelmed! Please know that while I may miss comments, I NEVER miss one of your cards and ALWAYS love seeing your creativity! This one: WOW! A technique I've not tried and one you've aced in the most beautiful way!
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
