Inky Paws Challenge #138

Hello readers and welcome back from the weekend!  I hope you found a little time to do something crafty.  Well, it's Monday and today I am sharing another card that I made for the Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge.  Week number two of Challenge #138 is continuing on with a sketch challenge!   Our challenges run for two weeks, thereby giving you more time to create, so I have designed a second card to share with you this week that was still inspired by the same image seen below:

*Please note this will be my last post for 2020.  It has been a very busy and challenging year in so many ways, and while I am extremely grateful for the many opportunities and experiences I have been afforded this past year, this girl is 100% burned out.  I took on the work of four Design Teams throughout the past twelve months and found myself overwhelmed.  I look forward to a well deserved break heading into the New Year.  I wish each of you and your families a happy, healthy and wonderful holiday season!  I'll see you again in 2021!  

Here is the snowflake themed card I created inspired by the sketch:

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  Using the Frames and Flags die set, I cut the scalloped frame from Bermuda Bay cardstock.  I matted this scalloepd frame with a blue piece of plaid cardstock.  I stamped one snowflake in Versamark ink on Bermuda Bay cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I stamped one snowflake in Versamark ink on Pool Party cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I stamped on snowflake in Bermuda Bay ink on white cardstock.  I die cut all three snowflakes using the coordinating Beautiful Blizzard dies.  I adhered a blue houndstooth piece of paper down the right side of the card (to mimic the sketch).  I heat embossed the sentiment on the lower  1/3 of this houndstooth paper with white embossing powder.  I adhered the three snowflakes to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. I tied a piece of blue twine around the card and lastly added a couple rhinestones to the center of the snowflakes for added sparkle.
