Ready for the snow at The Friday Mashup

This week at The Friday Mashup, Heidi has us embracing the winter season, without thinking about the holidays. Basically, we are celebrating winter!

I kind of worked this card a bit backwards. Typically I start with the focal point and work my way to the card base. This time, I started with the card base and added layers upwards to the house.

For the house, I started by roughing up a piece of Smoky Slate Core'dinations cardstock. I didn't want to colour the house with markers, as I wanted it to be light and textured. I like the effect of the sanded Core'dinations! I wiped it down to make sure all the loose bits were removed and then I stamped the house from Holiday Home.

The windows, door and roof were fussy cut and glued on to the Smoky Slate. I coloured the roof and door with Night of Navy Blendabilities by Stampin' Up! I added a little yellow glow to the windows as well.

Check out the challenge this week:

1. Create a project with a "Winter theme"
2. Create a project with "Snowflakes"
3. or Mash it Up! and create a "Winter project with Snowflakes"
