Nordic Skates

Today I am submitting my card to Pixie's Crafty Workshop as everything but the card base were snippets (even the bit of stitchery cotton was a left over bit).  It's been way too long since I played along.

I love the skates I used on this card.  Skating makes me happy but it's been many moons since I have skated, I may need to change that.  I selected the red patterned paper as it reminded me of a Nordic sweater and highlighted the bit of blue in the paper as my accent color.  I love red and light blue together.


Here is a close up of the skates to try to show the shine of the shimmer paper I used.  I had just enough to get these two skates out of my scrap, it was meant to be!


Happy Stamping,
Dana

  1. What a wonderful wintry card! I just love those skates and the subtle touches of blue in the red dsp. The embossed snow in the background is perfect too!

  2. Beautiful card Dana! Like Carol I do love those skates and have been dithering over buying a skates die and or stamp forever it seems. Clever to include the red paper as it certainly does give a truly Nordic feel to your great design!
