"Snowflakes, snowflakes... Are such funny things.
They haven't feet or haven't wings.
Yet they sail through the air...With the greatest of ease,
And dance on the street, Wherever they please."

Woohoo, it's a long overdue edition of Carbon Copied today-same set, same challenge, same day! The talented Jen from Jen Shears Designs and I are featuring Lawn Fawn's Fly Free and Bannerific and for a real challenge we are participating in Lawnscaping's Winter Wonderland! Love this challenge site because it often times makes me think of these stamps in different ways to get more use out of them.
Here in Wisconsin, winter is all about snow and the monochromatic landscape, not to mention the chilly temperatures! My card features some paper piecing and spray painted snowflake embellishments. The vintage color scheme was kind of dictated because of those copper snowflakes. (Funny, but true story: For some reason, my husband thought copper was gold?? Eh, metallic is close enough, I suppose. I was originally hoping for gold but now I'm liking the copper, as I was able to bring in a fun splattering of spray mists too!)
I can't wait to see Jen's take on this edition of Carbon Copied at her blog, Jen Shear's Designs. She's fabulously talented and does amazing projects with ribbon. Plus, she is so sweet to, it's a win win situation! Click on the Carbon Copied icon on my sidebar if you'd like to sign up for a feature edition with me!

ReplyDeleteOh Karen, this is just breathtaking! My goodness. There are no words.
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought to use this color scheme for a winter card, but that's why you're such a genius! The copper snowflakes are perfect, and of course the misting is incredible, as well. Love how you think outside the box with your stamps!
