The Pixie Cottage Challenge #47
Good Morning,
It's time for another Once Upon A Wednesday Pixie Cottage Challenge. This week we have a super sketch for you to try and the theme is Sparkle and Shine! As always you can use the sketch and/or the theme, it is left up to you. Please note: You do not have to use a Pixie Cottage stamp to enter, but it is always very nice to see you use them, it actually brings a smile to my face when you do!
You will probably notice that I used this delicious paper in previous posts, but I just love the earthiness of it. This wonderful new Winter Mailbox Pixie Cottage stamp is a perfect match. You can find it and other Winter stamps at Michelle's Scrapbooking and More.
I chose to use Sparkly glitter paper to mount the layers of my card. A little sparkle and shine can go a long way! The image was colored with my copics, and then I embossed it with enameled embossing powder to make it look like it was snowing. This ended up adding a bit of shine too. I wanted this card to be a bit rustic, and thus left the barcode on the paper instead of cutting it out. I mention this because my husbands first question was "Is that suppose to be showing?". I like doing little odd things like that, I find it adds character to my creations.
I look forward to seeing your creations this week ladies,
Happy Krafing,
Hugs,
Tanya
