Did you miss me? I have just been crazy busy and haven't even been stamping, so unfortunately my blog gets neglected.
I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving. I spent time with family at my sister's. Everyone contributes to the meal, making it easier for everyone.
It seems like it's been ages since I've done a challenge on splitcoast (actually 2 weeks, which for me is ages since I usually do most of them). Yesterday I checked the technique challenge and it looked like fun, so I decided to try it. I didn't have Simple Green, but did have Clorox Green Works, which I figured was probably similar, so I used that instead.

OK, I deviate... back to my card. I used a piece of cereal box chipboard (free and not too thick) and smooshed it with bliss blue craft ink, then dried it with my heat gun. Then I pulled out my cuttlebug and a snowflake die and ran the chipboard through. My top plate is pretty chewed up from cutting, so I usually have to roll chipboard back and forth a couple of times for it to cut through. I should just pull out a new plate. Then I smeared tacky glue all over the snowflake with my finger and coated it with glitter - the snowflake - not my finger. I think the glitter is transparent blue from Art Institute, but I'm not sure. I let the glue dry and then glued the snowflake to the card, added a jewel (JoAnn's) in the center and stamped the greeting (Paper Inspirations) in night of navy ink. I wrapped a piece of blue organdy ribbon (retired SU) around, tied a knot and I'm done.
Now I need to go get ready to leave for my class. Thanks so much for stopping by. Be blessed today.
