Hi! Just popping in to mention I am sharing a long Saturday Showcase post over at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge Blog highlighting Dina Wakley Chipboard Shapes.
Pop over if you get a chance to see all the projects I created using the chipboard as inspiration!

Hi! I am back with a new challenge that I am hosting on the Funkie Junkie Boutique! I titled it Icy and Cold because that is how our weather is right now! I described the challenge as:
"For this challenge I wanted to reflect how the weather is in January in my part of the world. Highlight anything that speaks icy and/or cold to you which could include: snowflakes, icy tones of colors, icicles or winter activities. Come share what icy and cold inspires in your art!"
I wanted to stay monochromatic and started playing with some purples and blues. I ended up going silvery, grey and white. When we get to our icy cold weather it is very grey and white outside.
Next was die cutting a mix of flowers and branches. I sponged them with black soot and heat embossed with a clear frosty embossing powder.
I took glass beads and embossed them with a silver embossing powder.
I then sponged the flowers with hickory smoke and clear embossed them with a frosted embossing powder.
I layered all the flowers and branches on the front with touches of the silver beads. I found the Joy stamp and used the same embossing powder and cut it out to place it on the front of the card.
Please come share your icy and cold inspiration.
Happy to be back in the new year sharing a new challenge at The Funkie Junkie Boutique! We have some new design team members and said goodbye to some old team members. The new challenge celebrates the new year with the theme of Out with the Old and in with the New.
All you have to do is create something using something new and something old.
I have these new chipboard sprigs from Ranger that I have been wanting to play with. I decided to pull them out and use them!
I also had my old Stampers Anonymous stamps Faded Text that I wanted to use in the design as well. I also mixed in some old lace from my lace collection.
The background is embossed with the burlap texture from an layering stencil. I used lots of sprays and inks to add colors and shine!
Come check out the new challenge and inspiration from the new design team!
