Popping today with a Clean & Simple Winter “Just Because” card. I feel like I’m finally finding my stamping mojo again. When I’m lacking inspiration but still have motivation to stamp, my go-to is to look for some card challenges. I love card challenges and have a few favorites that I would like to be more consistent in playing. Today’s card was inspired by two challenges with the same theme…Winter Fun! If you have to have winter, why not try to have fun, right? And card making is my kind of fun, especially in winter!
I’m playing along with the Paper Players CAS Winter Fun Challenge: PP673 HERE…
…and Retro Rubber’s Winter Fun #222 Challenge HERE…
I pulled out SU’s retired Freezin Fun stamp set and colored in a few of the adorable images, not really knowing which I would use. Once I decided on the card layout, it was easy to decide. In keeping with the clean and simple aspect, I lightly ink blended a piece of white card stock, measuring 4 1/4″ x 2″ creating a blue sky with a white snow hill. Then I embossed it with a snowflake embossing folder. I added two 1/8″ strips of white glitter paper for a little sparkle. The skiing bunny is popped with dimensionals.
Both sentiments are also from the Freezing Fun stamp set.
I’m going to send this card to my grandsons, Jack and Luke who were having some Freezin Fun here last week!
Thanks for looking in today and have a wonderful Wednesday!
Take care,
Rosanne
This is so pretty with the light shading of blue, and that rabbit is so cute. Thank you for playing along with us.
This is just adorable! I love the way you did the snowflakes and added just a wee bit of color and sparkle so that little snowbunny would stand out! Thanks so much for playing with our Paper Players challenge this week!
Aw, so super cute, Rosanne – love that skiing bunny! I totally forgot about this cute set – adorable! Love your design! Thanks so much for playing at Retro Rubber!
Rosanne, your grandsons are precious! I love your fun card. I always wanted to learn to ski, but that never happened. Your card is CAS perfection. The embossed snowflakes create so much texture. So happy you joined us at The Paper Players this week!
So, so sweet, Rosanne. I am not familiar with the stamp set used but the skiing Bunny is adorable. It sure looks like he is having fun in the snow! Thank you for joining us at Paper Players this week. Cheers, Jolanda – DT Guest
