SNEAK PEEK: Stampin UP holiday mini, available for purchase on September 1st. I saw this fabulous card by Melanie W. highlighted on SC so I made my version for our get-together last night.
I am not sure what color Melanie used, maybe Basic Grey, but I went with Concord Crush for my version. I omitted the border punch as I wanted to keep it more rustic. I don't yet have the SU silver glitter paper, so I used white glitter paper for one of the panels on the bottom. I opted to use only 2 panels along the bottom creating the snowbanks instead of 3. Otherwise this is pretty true to Melanie's version. So, if you like mine leave her some love, too.
I stamped the lodge first, masked it off, and stamped trees to the left and right taking care to maintain the same horizon. There is glitter galore all over the snowy roof and along the distressed edge of the snowbank. Although I have a big bow on this one, I may go for a silver cord to make them easier to mail. Here's the inside:
