Welcome to another What If Wednesday? from The House That Stamps Built. This week we have an inspiration photo for you:
Here in Southern New England, this view is what we woke up to Monday morning! It was our first real snow of the year and the sun came out early and the kids had a great time playing outside most of the morning. For my card, I was inspired by the colors. All that white with the bright blue and little pops of dark (I interpreted it as black, but you could definitely use brown) shades in there just really make a stunning color combo. And here is my card:
I was planning to go a in a different direction, but the blue patterned paper was sitting on my desk from an envelope I had made last week. And it sort of reminds me of snow falling, so in it went. : ) The black ribbon was in my bits and pieces stash, as was the square focal panel (so I continue my streak of using at least one item from it on every card I've made within the last couple of weeks). The paper I've had forever!! And the blue rhinestones I recycled from some mosaic projects my girls had. Don't worry, I didn't take them OFF the projects; they were left overs. : ) I realize I had used these two stamps on every card I've made for the last What If Wednesday challenges. Partly because they are the only winter themed stamps I have from Repeat Impressions, but mostly because I LOVE this snowflake. It's so gorgeous! If you've missed the previous cards, here they are:
