LSC197 � Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!
I have officially switched gears from fall to winter! Brrrr!!! (Although, we had snow in October and haven�t seen any since!) Someone commented to me a while back that we hadn�t done a �follow the list� type of LSC for a while, so I decided to fix that!
Here�s what I had in mind:
1. The only image stamps/embossing you may use are snowflakes. Yup! Only snowflakes (or something that looks like falling snow). No snowmen, snowwomen or anything, just snowflakes! The same goes for patterned paper . . . it must be snowflakes!! (Get the idea?)
2. Your creation must be monochromatic.
3. You need to add some sort of �bling� or sparkle to your card. Stickles, rhinestones, shimmery paper or ribbon . . . make it sparkly!!
4. Last, but certainly not least . . . sentiments may be ONE WORD only!
How�s that for a list??
Once again, Amelia (Wendybell�sGirl) pitched in with a sample for us. Whatever would I do without her??

4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.
You�re done!
I stayed up late to do the challenge, but I think I must be tired. The entire time I was working with my card I kept reminding myself that I was only going to stamp the 'Greetings' part of the sentiment. But I got so busy thinking about placement I forgot and inked the whole thing. Sorry! But with the script font it looks like one word----truly! :oops:
Yikes, it's late but I just LOVED this challenge as this snowflake set is one of my faves! Here's my LET IT SNOW and it's off to bed I go!

Hmmm, all my snowflake stamps are pretty small - but I will see what I can do. Come to think of it, I did a view-master card last year that qualifies on most counts, so I've got to be able to rise to this fun challenge.
I tried to capture the layers in my photo so my irridecent ice isn't showing up so good. I stamped the image 4 times and cut out the main snowflake getting gradually smaller w/ each layer. The layered snowflake is very sparkly with dazzling diamonds as is the organdy ribbon.
Thanks for a challenge.......I haven't played in a while!!!

OH, Wendy! I totally forgot the monochromanic part - I have to go to Social Security today and have no time to do another card - please know I am OLD and, therefore, cannot follow directions!!! I put so much time in this card that I hope you will be gracious and forgive - please don't send the challenge police! I also used up my sticker snowflakes! I hereby promise to read directions better in the future and to read them TWICE!
Hmmm - no snowflake stamps - how can I improvise......
Do you have any punches, paper or embossing folders with snowflakes? What about stars that you could "jazz up" to look like snowflakes? Go crazy, girl!
Ok - so the card I uploaded last night fits this challenge almost perfectly.
Notice I said almost - mine has a 2 word sentiment instead of one.
But it's like I knew this challenge was coming, so hope you don't mind that I added it to this challenge.
I will try and do another one tonight after work, shopping, etc etc.
This is in my gallery...but obviously having a moment as I could not get it to load into the challenge gallery...it's obviously me doing something wrong!:p Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
