Hi there. Happy Monday to all.
So, I wanted to make this card LOOK Wintery, like looking out through a beautifully-paned window at snow flurries. Of course, I had to use what I have. Plus I wanted to do the current technique of Stenciling Over Heat Embossing and share it at Group of Seven Cardmakers, This is a card for someone who has a birthday close to Christmas, so I wanted the card to fit in nicely with Christmas decor for displaying, but still be a Birthday card. This is what I came up with!
The 6x6 card has a white card stock base, a layer of turquoise blue glitter card and then a top white card stock layer that I did the technique on.
I first stamped my white card stock with the Impression Obsession Swirls Cover A Card stamp in Versamark and heat-embossed with white powder. Then, I used the TCW Flower Quarter stencil over that. I used Distress Ink colors Salty Ocean and a bit of Peacock Feathers.
Here's a close-up of the effect of this technique. I LOVE IT!!!!
And not hard to do at all!
I cut the CAS-ual Friday sentiment die with more of the glitter card and then found some glitter dots in my stash in the same blue hue to finish off the card.
Here you can see the variation of stenciled color created by the 2 Distress Inks.
The inside was composed and framed by me in PSE and printed out on blue card.
And on the back of the card, I used a piece of Avery Elle linen-like patterned paper and stenciled the Funky Fossil Folk Floral Panel with the Salty Ocean DI in the center. I also cut the MFT photo corner dies out of some blue stash scrap card and stamped the MFT siggie on the blue card, heat-embossing it with white powder. I added one of the glitter dots to the center of the stenciling.
Here's the back shown with the front, but the colors here are off a bit because of shadow. The paper is white with blue linen lines and lighter blues in real life like the photo above this one.
I can almost feel the Wintery chill looking at this and am so pleased with how it turned out.
Thanks for visiting and have a great day.

This is so cool - love the colours and the technique creates such a pretty background! Thanks for sharing with us at both HLS Birthday and Dragonfly Dreams :)
The front of this card feels like a beautiful snowy day to me. (Maybe because it snowed last night, but it's not beautiful. It's rainy and dark.) And the back looks like a lovely quilt. I will say I love the glitter on the front. Happy turkey day to you and your family Aimeslee. hugs-Erika
I can see why you love the effect Aimes, it's a stunning result and with everything put together a gorgeous card. It definitely has a Wintery chill, but not cold! If you know what I mean? Love it.
