I fell in love with this sled die by Stampin' Up. Every single piece of it has amazing details. For instance, the laces on the skate actually slide into a slit on the skate so they look like laces over the tongue of the skate. It's amazing! There's also a wreath in the set so I definitely need to make a Christmas-colored card using the wreath vs. my frosty blue card with ice skates!
The set has been on my desk for awhile so when I saw Jen's sketch and realized that her oval is remarkably sled-sized, it had to come out to play. I added some snowflakes on the white panel and woodgrain on the blue. Then I gave it all some elegance with champagne foil and gems. The sentiment is from a retired set but I tend to keep sentiment sets forever because you never know when one might fit and be the perfect match for a card.
I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card! The details on these dies is amazing. And I love the frosty blue
ReplyDeleteSo I had this bundle in my shopping basket, as I really liked it and didn't have anything similar in my stash, but hadn't pressed 'close' - until I saw this card this week Kim, and it made my mind up - done! This is so lovely - I especially love the cool colour scheme you chose too. I can't wait for mine to arrive so that I can play - first up, a case of this beauty!
ReplyDeleteThat oval was exactly the right size for the sled and I LOVE it! Wonderful detail and I love your colors on this.
ReplyDeleteOh! What a lovely winter card, Kim! These die cuts are absolutely gorgeous and I love the colors, too.
