Colour Creations Blog Hop week 8 Balmy Blue Snowflakes

 

Hello stampers, welcome to week 8 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are featuring Balmy Blue, a lovely soft, pale blue.

When I was deciding about this week's project I thought that Balmy Blue was well suited to a frosty snowflakes card. Most of our current Christmas sets are only available in our online store. Check them out here. For this card I used the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set.

The largest snowflakes are stamped in Balmy Blue, the middle size are white embossed and the smallest are silver embossed.

I used a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink to add shading to the top left corner and the bottom right corner.

To add some extra sparkle to my Christmas card I used a strip of White Glimmer Paper across the top of the greeting. I love this greeting set, I was very excited that it was staying in our online store. Christmas is stamped in Balmy Blue and the Merry is embossed in silver.

I placed a Silver Foil mat behind the card front before it was adhered to the Balmy Blue card base. The final bit of sparkle on the card was some Rhinestone Jewels added to the centre of some of the snowflakes.

All of the products used here are available in my Online Store.

Please contact me with any questions, I'm always happy to chat about stamps and Stampin' Up!

Now it's time to hop over to the next stop in our Blog Hop, which belongs to my lovely stamping friend Kathryn Ruddick. Please make sure to see what all of the participants have to share for lots of Balmy Blue inspiration.
