January House Of Cards Challenge

Happy New Year !

Time for a new challenge at 

House of Cards:

use a building and/or 

the color palette in the inspiration photo below.

I had the perfect stamp to use for this challenge

plus I used similar colors.

The finished card size is 5"x 7". 

The image was stamped onto water color paper.

I lightly painted in portions of the image with 

inks from a dye ink pad and water brush.

I also brushed some Pearlex paint onto the snow

and added Diamond Stickles to the trees.

The edges of the stamped panel were distressed. 

This is layered onto Riding Hood Red card stock.

Smoky Slate card stock was run through a snowflake

embossing folder then layered between the stamped 

panel and Crumb Cake card base.

I added some striped Riding Hood Ribbon

and snowflake dies with a rhinestone brad

to finish off the computer generated sentiment.

Lastly Diamond Stickles was run along the edges

of the sentiment strip which was attached with dimensionals.

Our challenge lasts all month,

so you have plenty of time to 

create a card to share with us!
