We have a few flurries in my area today so it put me in the mood for another chilly card. I love these 3 Stampin’ Up! blue ink colors together, Brilliant Blue, Tempting Turquoise and Night of Navy. They remind me of northern lights. But before we get into the tutorial I have a Blog Candy winner to announce.
The Blog Candy Winner is. . . . . . . . . . . .

Stamped on a 4″ x 5.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock the tree from the Stampin’ Up! set Season of Joy using Versamark.
Stamped the snowflakes from the Stampin’ Up! set Serene Snowflakes using Versamark.
Heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Cut two “upside down” hills in a post it note and used it to mask the snow area in the scene.
Sponged Tempting Turquoise ink in the middle of the card stock.
Sponged Brilliant Blue ink around the Tempting Turquoise ink, not covering the Tempting Turquoise ink entirely.
Sponged Night of Navy ink around the Brilliant Blue ink, not covering the Brilliant Blue ink entirely.
Removed the post it note mask and wiped the ink from the embossed images using a soft cotton towel. You can use a paper towel for this also.
Added a Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White and Basic Black panels.
Using my piercing tools, added some piercings to the bottom of the card stock.
Added White Gel pen dots in the sky area and dashes around the star on the tree.
Masked along side of one hill using a post it note. Stamped the flourish from the Stampin’ Up! set Season of Joy using White Craft ink.
Added Basic Black marker outline to the left side of the tree, hill and to the flouish. Also added a bit of white gel pen highlights to the flourish.
Here is the complete card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
I hope you are tucked away in a cozy place today. 🙂
Until my next post. . . . . . . . . .
Huge Hugs,
