2020 Christmas countdown - Day 37 (Chasing Snowflakes)

Good morning!

Well it had to happen eventually... I have finally made a slimline card this year and followed the very popular trend.

But thankfully, no need to invest in any slimline dies for this design. ;)

This card is also my take on the September prompt of the 2020 card challenge:

Stamps: Pinkfresh Studio - Skiing By
Dies: Pinkfresh Studio - Skiing By
Other: Distress Oxides

The elements I went with from the prompt were a woodland creature, a mountain scene, and cream as a neutral colour.

The great thing about a slimline card design is that you can really showcase a blended night sky.

I used Tattered Rose, Dusty Concord, and Chipped Sapphire for the winter sky and of course splattered it with water, some white ink and, on this occasion, pearl white Gansai Tambi which has that wow factor when you tilt the card and the light bounces off the gleaming finish.

This sky was the perfect background for some mountains and ski slopes, so of course I reached for my favourite festive Pinkfresh Studio stamp and die combo from last year: Skiing By.

Usually I would use white cardstock for the snowy bits - but the warmer colour tones of the sky made cream the best option this time.

Nice to change things up a little sometimes. :)

I kept everything minimal at the bottom and just added a simple greeting so that the sky was the main event.

Happy crafting, until next time!
