Dreamy Snowflakes in Pool Party

 

Dreamy Snowflakes Bundle + Everyday Arches Dies

I've been wanting to make this card for weeks!  I love snowflakes paired with the color Pool Party, and I've just been dying to make a spinning snowflake!  The Pool Party monochromatic challenge was a couple weeks ago.  Click HERE to see the original post in Instagram.


Dreamy Snowflakes Bundle + Everyday Arches Dies

This card has a lot going on.... blending brush on the card front arch prior to embossing, detail die cut snowflakes, a spinning snowflake and those beautiful iridescent sequins!

I bought the metal rotating spinner on amazon.  They come in gold and silver finishes

On the inner card I kept the arched layers and added some Pool Party stamped snowflakes.

Elegant Leaves in Cajun Craze

 

Elegant Leaves Bundle

A few weeks back, Cajun Craze was the monochromatic challenge.... and it happened just a couple of days after I was home from my knee replacement....so my card had to be as absolutely simple as possible.  Of course I look at it now and can see a few things that I wish I had done differently, but that is the beauty of a hand crafted card.... I can always make another one :)

Elegant Leaves Bundle

To create this card I used one stamp to create a tonal card front design.  I used Cajun Craze ink on the light side of the Cajun Craze Two Tone cardstock.  Basic Beige is a perfect neutral color to allow the rich beauty of Cajun Craze to shine through.  I am in love with the leaves in the corners of the inner message liner.

Well, I am a couple weeks behind... so I am slowly playing catch up.  I thought I had everything under control before my Total Knee Replacement on October14th..... but I never anticipated that my office chair wouldn't work for me after surgery.
