I designed this card for October's Just Cards class. It was the simplest design of the night, but the image just reminds me of simpler times. Can't you just picture the skaters enjoying each other without a cell phone ringing, being texted by the kids saying they need a ride to the mall?
This card really shimmers in person. It's been misted with some homemade Shimmer Mist. So, so pretty!
The drama on this card comes from the gold metallic patterned paper. It comes from the Mocha Morning Specialty DSP collection, and it is truly stunning!!!!
The card is quite simple. The only thing I will say is that the snowflakes are inked with Soft Suede and then stamped off once prior to stamping onto the cardstock. The other images are stamped full strength with Early Espresso ink.
I'll leave you with the card recipe in case you want to recreate it. All of the products used to make this card can be purchased from my ONLINE STORE. This time of year, it's so convenient to know that your can order your Stampin' Up! products from the comfort of your own home.
