Use one, two or all three colors for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.
I've use white and blue ;-).
Well, a few blues from the Distress ink line to brush on the background ( if I remember correctly, faded jeans, chipped sapphire, salty ocean and maybe mermaid lagoon).
I started by partially diecutting the stitched circle die to get the window.
I then transferred the position of the window onto the cardbase and masked an area off, slighlty bigger, but as the panel is slightly smaller I had to make sure none of my ink blending would peak out from underneath.
I then used the Simon Says Stamp Falling snow stencil and embossing paste for the snow, the stencil shifted a little making the perfect round shapes look more like drops, which is OK!
I used a die from Leane creatief for the trees and house scene, I bought it second hand so I'm not sure if it's old, new or discontinued etc.
I used my newly discovered method for embossign the die, see video, home made embossing or tan mat ;-)
Mounted everything with one or two layers of foam tape to adhered it to the cardbase.

So my sentiment is on the inside.
Also rather like the serene look of the front now.
I love big bold black sentiments, but somehow I don't see it fitting this card.
See the card I made a few weeks ago, I used different blue Distress ink and glittery dots from Papermania and a sentiment!
I think it's because the challenge is blue and white ;-)
Really beautiful, elegant cards...these are gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing and for playing along with us over on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog... :)
