Guest Designing for Virginia's View Challenge #2




Hi Everyone!
Today I'm back with Another post as guest designer for one of my absolute favorite challenges;  Virginia's View - I'm having so much fun with this month's theme - texture:
Beacause of the season I decided to go with two different types of snow fall textures.Yesterday I shared a card using embossing paste to create snowfall texture and for today's card I used an embossing folder: 





Supply list:

Stamps: MFT PI
Dies: MFT stitched rectangle
 Sizzix Christmas Words and Dots Set by Hero Textured Impressions Embossing Folders if not available any more - use ; Taylored Expressions
Bazzill Card Shoppe Cardstock
Patterned paper from Echo Park
Archival Jet black ink MFT Hybrid Ink Black Licorice
Copic markers

If you haven't played along yet I hope I've inspired you to do so - check out all the info you need HERE - you can win a gift card for Simon Says Stamp - YIPPIE!!!

Here are some suggestions for ways to get texture on your cards from Virginia's blog:  Gesso, acrylic paints, textured/embossing paste, sandpaper, dry embossing (use those old/new embossing folders!!), embossing powder, cork, burlap, fabric, canvas, felt, wood-grain, DIY textures (using Crimper or score board, embossing folders) OR simply use any textured paper....the sky is the limit!

I was also inspired by a Swedish song: Hej Mitt Vinterland - So I'm entering this for  Copics Sweden's Challenge and I also Think it fits the "Thinking of You" challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge and I'm also entering this card for Copic Marker Europe's Christmas Challenge.


Wishing you a wonderful day!

Hugs, Karin
