Snow Special

Welcome back friends! I hope that you all are staying warm and cozy. Today I'm back as a guest designer for my beloved MFT.  I had fun creating this card for them!

Sometimes I get in a bit of a color rut. Traditional seasonal colors tend to dominate when I sit down to create. For today's card I challenged myself to use what my brain thinks of as a Summer color combination. This card was created as a birthday card for my daughter's 16th birthday, which was yesterday. I wanted it to be light and cheery like she is!

Snow Special is the cutest little penguin stamp set. I am always so grateful for the coordinating die-namics and Snow Special Die-namics is no exception.
Because I was stamping specifically for someone I thought of her and the colors that she likes. She's also a sparkle loving young lady. She's a friendly girl too so that inspired the cluster of penguins ice skating together. Ice skating was also an activity that she did this weekend! When I create for someone specifically I really love the inspiration I get. It's a great way to get those creative juices flowing.

Yes, I continue with my obsession with Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX. The just add to any whimsy you want on a card.

As far as the colors that I based everything on I used Peach Bellini, Sno Cone, and Blue Raspberry card stock. I colored these little cuties in with a few Copic Markers and added glitter to the hats for that shine I was looking for. The glittered strips were added to tie into to bands on the hats.

Try it! Think of a favorite Summer color combo and winterize it!
