The Light Me Home set is such a classic winter scene that I knew I had to have it. Then trying to design the card was a bit more troublesome. When I saw the current Global Design Project Color Challenge, it made me immediately think of this set. And I had been asked about a Skinny card for a class I have coming up. My idea for using the color challenge on the sky fit perfectly for a tall and skinny card. This way I have a lot more sky to play with.
The Global Design Project Challenge is a Color Challenge. #GDP267
I really love these colors and they fit perfectly for the sky with my Light Me Home stamp. I sponged all three colors beginning with the Balmy Blue at the top. I overlapped each one just a bit. I also stamped the image in Misty Moonlight.
I could have added more color to the stamped area, but decided I liked the “snowy” look with the beautiful sky above. It did need a bit of Something else. So I added a few snowflakes in Balmy Blue to the night sky. The snowflakes are from the Flight of Fancy stamp set.
The sentiment is from the stamp Light Me Home set also. I stamped it with Highland Heather on the Balmy Blue card stock. The layers are die cut using the Layering Circles. I added a single Pearl for a touch of glimmer and as an acknowledgement of the snow.
