Yesterday's colour challenge on SCS was rather interesting. At the time, I really did not like these colours together -- the colours seem so similar, very little contrast between them. Do you know what I mean? Yes, they are very different colours but the intensity of each is the same ... if there was olive with plum and bashful blue, well that would be different. I'm one who tends to like a higher contrast between colours ... difficult. Right now, though, I've thought of something else to do with these colours so I'll try to be back tomorrow with it! LOL!!
Anyway, I had used these colours with Mercy's sketch and started playing around. I must have cut tons of little pieces of paper trying to find the right mix and then eventually just settled and am actually happy with these results :) The white layer was dry embossed and heat embossed. I had inked up the folder with versa mark first, dry embossed it, and then poured the Iridescent Ice embossing powder over top and heat set it.
So, I hope you like it! Have a great day! I am -- it's snowing finally (if you haven't guessed yet -- I LOVE snow)!!!

oh wow, adorable card!!! ♥
LOVE the sparkle on the white layer! I noticed it right away and was reading to see if it was shimmery white..hehe! Fabulous idea! Your card is super duper cute!
Aw Renee this is beautiful! Love that embossed background and the contrast of colors is fabulous. Miss ya girl!
Love the large embossed snowflakes on the white panel an the snowman is too cute :) Great use of Mercy's sketch too. Good thing you live where you live so you can enjoy the snow :)
Another great card! You just keep turning them out. I always enjoy seeing what you come up with. I've never done any sewing--my sewing machine is just around the corner in my guest room, but so far I haven't been motivated to do any. I wil have to try it! I'm always motivated when I see your cards!!
I love this set. I hope we get it here eventually too. Also love the sparkly background too. We don't have iridescent ice ep but we have found that the shimmer paint used as a mist creates a great effect.
Darn it!! I don't have this stamp and you are making me so jealous, lol!!! Super card!
This is really cute too. I love the blue with white. The ribbon is just perfect for this!
