OLW 121 Simply Snowy
Posted: January 3, 2013 Filed under: CAS, OLW 12 Comments
Susan is hosting the first One Layer Wednesday of 2013 and the challenge is to get inspiration from the Snowy Day post on the Cake Wrecks blog. After all the snowy cards I created before Christmas I decided to use a totally different method to create some little white snowflakes on a blue background. My inspiration is the cake below. I have an EK snowflake border punch which I used to punch tiny snowy flakes out of the sticky edge of a post-it note. Once arranged across my masked panel I sponged in Memento Summer Sky ink.
Check out the inspiration link; there is a wide variety of themed cakes to choose from.
Thanks for all the lovely comments you left on my last post. It seems that many of you have also seen sunsets over snow just like the one my husband and I saw. He agreed I had captured what we had seen as we finished our skiing so I was pretty happy with that comment too!

This is gorgeous! I love the white space here, which also lends itself to snow against that sky blue. Beautiful and soothing!
Gorgeous. What a great idea to use a postit as a mask with the border punch. Cool, quiet, elegant. You constantly out-do yourself. TFS
Very pretty…sweet and simple.

Beautiful card. Love the simplicity of it. Your inspiration choice is gorgeous, also a work of art.
So pretty! It’s amazing what can happen with a punch, some post-its and some ink! Such a pretty shade of blue, too.
Gorgeous, Heather!!!! I tried about five different ways to use that cake as inspiration and gave up. You nailed it!
Great idea, to use post its for masking off the snowflakes. Wonderful idea for a one layer card. Love it.
I love the simplicity of this one and what a fabulous idea! xx
Oh! I did this one too (on my blog, Friday)! Very Ardythian! lol! And I felt Heatherian, as I always do when I pull out my sponges!
Wonderful sponging, brilliant blue and so beautifully CAS! Anita 🙂
