Snowflake dancer with give away

Good morning everybody!

Today I'd like to show you a card I made with the newly released Snowflake Dancer by Wee Stamps. This stamp is available as a digital image directly through Wee Stamps and as a rubber stamp through Whimsy Stamps.

I adored the Snowflake Dancer from the second Sylvia showed her to me. I think she's delicate and elegant and I knew right away that I wanted to create a cool card around her. The white cardstock was simply embossed with a Cuttlebug Ice Crystals embossing folder, the strip of blue paper is an old scrap I had from Magnolia and I thought those two would be a lovely setting. I kept the embellishments all white though I did play around with blue flowers but that, for me, took away from the pureness of this card which is what I wanted.
A close up of the fairy, as always colored with Copic Markers, I tried to go for a bit of a distressed look, not to much color. The pretty chipboard star-shapes that I have used are from SisterArt Creation, they don't have a webshop but sell through Facebook. Just click on their photos and if you want to purchase something add a comment below the picture with the chipboard you want. Their chipboards are of a very high quality and I love the shapes. I painted these chipboards with white paint, dusted them with stardust glitter when the paint was still wet and gave them a coat of varnish after they were dry. They sparkle like crazy and I adore them.
Gorgeous white Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, you'll find the links to the different flowers below. And again a chipboard shape from SisterArt Creation.
And the little pieces the image was made with. I cut out most of the snowflake parts one by one after the rest of the image was done, that's why you see them uncut in this picture.

Well that's it for me today. Hope you like my card but you have just gotto love the Snowflake Dancer right? And as mentioned in the header of this post.... I get to give one of these cuties away as a digital image to one person leaving a comment on this post! If you have already purchased the Snowflake Dancer you of course get to pick a different image of your liking. I'll pick a winner somewhere tomorrow so you have all day today and a bit of tomorrow to leave a comment!

Have a great day everybody!!

Hugs,

  22. Mariska, as I mentioned on Facebook on the Wee Stamps page, I'm so in love with this that I needed to come leave you love as soon as I could today. There's a reason this is my very favorite image and I hope I can create a card that does it (and my heart's vision) justice. When I especially love a Wee stamp, I'm always excited to see how you use it because your work is something to treasure! When I saw this this morning, my heart did the sparkliest pirouette ever.. you've achieved the beauty this dancer emanates and it is one of my very favorite cards you've ever made. I apologize for the novel, but this just strikes such a chord with me and I wanted you to know how much I adore it. :o) The sparkling stars/snowflakes and pure white flowers are brilliant. Lovely work once again, Mariska. And thank you for continually inspiring us!

    Hugs and blessings,
    Karen
