I have made a batch of these cards. Three different snowflakes (Personal Impressions - Let it Snow-flakes) stamped in three different shades of turquoise and blue. The sentiment is Inkylicious stamped in Versafine Majestic Blue and then the edge lighted shaded with Tumbled Glass DI. I finished off with some matching layers and a few gems.
I am really enjoying working in my new tiny craft area and I am amazed at how much I can squash in there. Everything is close at hand that is for sure and I find myself with lots of inspiration as I sit listening to the radio or podcasts! I have been busy indexing my ink pads. I know I have an addiction, but I am amazed at how many I have. I have been stamping each colour onto tiny tags to be kept on book rings.
It will be great to sort them into colour families so that I make much better use of them. I was very interested in how the different inks perform just how many amazing colours I have. I am especially pleased to have a reference of my much paler colours that I often forget to use. I think my final plan is to set up something like Jenifer Maguire here, a system one of my kind crafty friends pointed out to me.

Good grief Elaine, I think you have more ink pads than I have stamp sets!
ReplyDeleteLove you snowflake card, am impressed by the number you have done so far
Hi Elaine, it's been a while......hope you had a good holiday. I scrolled through your posts and saw you had a lovely place to stay! And a new craft room, that is great! Do you have also your craft room in the shed? Or is the new one for the colder season?
ReplyDeleteI love your snowflake card, beautiful stamps! Hope you are doing fine? I am getting back on trail now..........warm greets Mirandaxx
Love your Christmas card Elaine and the lovely colours you have used. Fantastice collection of inkpads.
ReplyDeleteHave just seen your pictures of your tiny arty haven. It looks great and so well organised. Love and hugs x ChrisB
Hi Elaine, Love your beautiful card. I think I like snowflakes more than Christmas trees and that's saying something, lol! Beautiful colours and the sentiment is lovely. You are putting me to great shame with your Christmas card productivity. I made 1 card at the beginning of the year and that's it! Better get my bottom in gear!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are enjoying your new crafty cubby hole. You are so good at organisation I could do with you sorting my somewhat larger space out. I did something similar with all my inkpads when I did my first online class with Glenda but as is my usual way I still reverted to my favourites. Time I had a look at all those glorious colours. I don't think I dare count them, lol!
Lots of love

It's terrific seeing all your little tags on the book rings & I can really understand the use of having a reference system for the colours. Like Lesley above I also have swatches for each of my ink pads & am constantly referring to them.
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas design is a real treat - especially for someone who has a passion for snowflake designs (me perhaps??) & they're superbly effective in the aqua colours.I particularly like the way your snowflake spokes around the sentiment draw the eye towards it.
