Cozy Wintery Moments

Welcome back and Nancy, here. There is no secret that I love the snowy moments while walking my dog in the country side with the sparkling shine of the snow blanketing our farm fields and occasionally catching a glimps of our furry wild animals watching us.  It’s a cozy memory, despite the cold but I see fluffy snowflakes that look like flowers slowly floating around me and covering our trail.  I tried to capture the feeling of serenity and natural beauty of recreating these moments using the Ciao Bella Cozy Moments paper collection to create these cards.

Scrapiniec - Workshop Kit Cards - Old Fashioned Christmas chipboard collection was the perfect pairing for this project with the beautiful swirls of snowflakes. The neat thing about snowflakes, these are a perfect embellishment all winter long!  I topped the card with my triple bow cluster, Stamperia stencil and Stamperia Arctic Paste to amp up the sparkly, winter feel of this card.  I watered down white acrylic paint and used a paint brush to lightly flicker white dots on the card to resemble touches of snowflakes.

Each card measured 5" x 7".  I created this gray frame around the deer using the Sizziz 3D Ring Tree embossing folder.  I brush the Ranger Ground Espresso ink pad inside the 3D embossing folder.  Cut out my frame using the Cozy Moment cardstock and sprayed lightly with water.  I ran parts of the frame through the embossing folder until the entire frame was embossed.  I like how this frame looked so natural with the picture.  I used the Cozy Moment cardstock for the outside frame as well.  I cut out the sentiment in the cardstock, added 3D foam adhesive tape with brads to the card.  I added an 1" burlap ribbon across the card for that natural woodsy look.  I added some Stamperia SnowflakeArtic Ice paste on the chipboard snowflakes and around the card.  I used the Stamperia stencil with Pentart Antique Paste White on part of the card and after dried, added more Artic Ice Paste to the stenciled snowflakes.  

I used the Stamperia Arctic Ice Paste after adding the chipboard to card for that snowy looks.  I just love this little bunny in the snow which reminds me of the Jack Rabbits around our country house.
