For my entry into the August Rudolph Days Challenge I chose to use the Stampendous Ice Skates Stencil for my focal design and then backed it over a die cut background using the Taylored Expressions Snowflake Cover Plate.
I used white pigment ink to stencil the design onto the royal blue card stock and it was then that I noticed it was almost a true match to the lighter blue card stock I had on hand. So I used that lighter blue as the card base and then added the white snowflake die cut design over the top before I placed the ice skates design over that. I will be using this as a winter holiday card but for now I am leaving the sentiment off of it so that I can use it for any of the winter holidays if needed.
Thanks for visiting and for the comments. I wish you a wonderful new week.
God bless,
Verna

What a wonderful card with the snowflake background and pretty blue colors! Love those ice skates for the focal image too! Well done!
What luck you had with the blue stenciled colour matching a card stock that you owned! That was great as it looks so good!
