Paper Players 153

Happy Sunday, everyone!  Time for a cool Paper Players challenge:

Since we are in the middle of a heat wave, I thought a snowy, ice-skating Christmas card would be appropriate:

You know how when you stamp and stamp and things just don’t “gel” for you?  That’s sort of how I felt trying to make this card, and I make Christmas cards all year long!  Anyway, I saw it through, so it is what it is!  I used a couple of retired stamp sets (Winter Post and The Snowflake Spot) as well as a couple current ones (Everything Eleanor and Petite Pairs).  I used one of the Apothecary Accents diecut to make my Soft Sky panel and added some new Soft Sky seam binding.  The snowflakes are embossed in silver on a piece of retired Festival of Prints DP.  I stamped my image in Midnight Muse and added some color with a blender pen:

And of course, Silver Glimmer Paper makes a nice mat!  And here’s the inside:

This is also for the Festive Friday trigger challenge #12:

Snow and ice keep you cool, so that’s my trigger—keeping cool!

I hope that you can cool off by making a Christmas card for our challenge this week!  Can’t wait to see what you create!  And be sure to check out what the Paper Players Design Team has created as well! 

Here’s the way Cassidy keeps cool!  We set up a kiddie pool,  and she LOVES it:

I’ll have more pix to share later on!
