Flourishes' silhouette stamps have always been some of my favorites, and they just released a brand new one: Snow Scenes! I couldn't wait to use it!
I used Viva la Verve's September 2013 Week 1 sketch for the layout for this card (Viva la Verve and Mojo Monday are my go-to sites for sketches!), and distressed and stitched cute Bo Bunny dp for the background. The white circle is embossed with a snowflake embossing folder and matted with another white circle. For the image, I heat embossed it with a tan embossing powder on Flourishes Classic White cardstock, masked the ground area, painted masking fluid on the snowman and fur on the boy's hat, then, while still in the die, sponged Weathered Wood Distress Ink for the sky with a sponge dauber, making for a darker, snowy sky. I then stamped one of the trees from the set in Memento Rich Cocoa. After removing all the masking fluid, I added Snow Marker for snow drifts and snowflakes. I used a Gold Krylon marker around the edge of the die cut. The sentiment, from the same stamp set, is stamped on a Verve Curvy Bookplate die and is edged with the Krylon Gold marker. The metal snowflake is from my stash (I think it is a K&Co embellie). The base is an ivory cs.
On the inside I used a gold pigment ink to stamp snowflakes randomly on a square of ivory cs, then sponged Antique Linen on the edges. On a Flourishes Perfectly Pierced Classic Frames Template die cut, I sponged Old Paper, Antique Linen, and Weathered Wood Distress Inks just inside the die, then stamped the sentiment, which is from the Holiday Topiaries stamp set, in Memento Rich Cocoa. Then, I edged the die cut with my Krylon Gold marker.
This was such a fun card to make, but if you want to see more cards made with this set, click here. The Flourishes Design Team is amazing!

Cheryl! This is lovely! I love that patterned paper. It's PERFECT with this sweet card! You did a fabulous job with that masking fluid. The snowman is so cute. I had to look twice to see how you achieved that look. Brilliant!

Sweetness! I love this silhouette image, and your softer tones give it a warm, homey look. So perfectly coordinated with the paper. Great sketch, too!
