This is for today's Color Challenge CC394 as well as last week's Sketch Challenge SC403. We were supposed to use Not Quite Navy, Pacific Point and Sahara Sand. I pieced strips of Pacific Point DSP Stack on self-adhesive paper, alternating each side, and then cut it out using the largest Apothecary Accents die, then "echoed" it using Not Quite Navy. Embossed the image on Whisper White then echoed it as well with NQN. The snowflakes are stamped with Tsukineko Glue Pad Adhesive and covered with blue glitter from Barbara Trombley. There is the barest hint of blue chalk under the kids, though I think I need to make it darker in the future. The ef is SU Northern Flurry placed at an angle then sponged with Shimmer Paint.

Shea, this is lovely! I like the old-fashioned image of children sledding with the frosty surrounding of colors and embossed snowflakes. A charming card.

Cute, cute, cute!! That silhouetted image of the kids and the sled reminds me of many winters ago when I spent hours playing outside. I love the layout and those huge glittery snowflakes..they look like they exploded on there..cool!
