Did you welcome 2022 in style? Well I hope your are are ready for a whole new Country View Challenge! Our theme this month, chosen by Jo, is "Your year to sparkle and shine".
I made this New Year card with glistening snow :
I used an old aperture card which matched quite well the Sizzix Christmas Shadow Box by Courtney Chilson (663611) set of dies. I cut out the trees from a failed background and the snow from glitter paper of course! I die-cut some greenery from scraps of green inked card and added glitter and mica powders to them.
And to use the last aperture card, whilst I had the die set out I created a second card:
The background is a failed alcohol ink experiment (the running theme is using up bits and pieces taking undue space in my "craft room"!).
Without the antlers, it is now a doe with its hooves in the snow and a white rabbit.
I will be back later this month with another inspiration piece for our Country View Challenge. Do check out the post for all the DT makes and the rules for the challenge (they have changed last month).
What hasn't changed is the £ 20 voucher you could win by linking your project(s)!
Thanks for coming by,
