Hi all!
I am here with another challenge for the Sisterhood of Crafters! This fortnight's challenge is ICY COLD... I live in the Northern Midwest of the US, so it can get pretty cold here in the winter. Lucky for us, it's been pretty mild so far...knock on wood...we'll see how the rest of winter goes.
My family is currently planning our spring break, and while I want to go to someplace warm with a beach, my hubby wants to visit a big city like New York, London or Toronto. I don't think we'll do any international travel, but anywhere in North American is always possible. This dilemma has inspired this card!
In person, this card really shimmers like ice! The paper the flower was stamped on was first sprayed with Altenew Iridescent ink spray. It gave the paper a pale blue effect and in the light, it changes colors all in the cool spectrum, it's gorgeous! I really wish it would translate in photos... I am also entering this in the current Color Hues challenge given its beautiful light blue and navy colors.
The flower was stamped with Altenew's Dynamic Duo Paradise Flowers from their November release. I love all their Dynamic Duos...it's like one stop shopping with coordinating stencil, stamp and dies.
Only the detail stencil was used for color on this blossom, the shimmer added enough color for the base color of the flower using Persian Blue. The outline was stamped with Sapphire ink on the shimmer paper and Persian blue behind the die cut.
The sentiment was stamped Versamark and white heat embossing to make it pop off the dark blue cardstock. The finishing touch was splatters made with Sapphire blue and iridescent ink spray. I hope you enjoyed this inspiration for ICY COLD. Please be sure to visit and comment on the DTs posts and give them some love!
Have a ICY colorful day!

You covered all the bases so beautifully. Especially adding shimmer and shine and contrast.
