Hope your week is going well! The weather here this week has finally gotten colder but we are still without any snow. I'm not complaining though - the less shoveling the better!
I've got a card to share today, and I'm entering it into a couple of challenges. The first one is the Play Date Cafe challenge.
Don't ya just love these colors?! I've been playing with them all morning. Here's the first card I came up with.
I used all three snowflakes from the Hero Arts, Stamp and Cut Christmas Snowflakes set. I first spritz some Perfect Pearl water onto watercolor paper, then stamped the Snowflakes with Distress Inks, in Antique Linen, Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans. The die-cut one was created by heavily inking a piece of the same watercolor paper with Faded Jeans ink, then spritzing the snowflake stamp with only the Perfect Pearl water and stamping it into the ink. Love the effect it gives when the water removes the ink!
And since I added so many snowflakes on this card, I'm also entering it into the Simon Says Stamp challenge.
That's it for me today. I've been enjoying my time off work this week and getting lots of things done. I still need to make more Christmas cards and am so happy I found some mojo today - it's been missing all week!
Thanks for the visit and have a great weekend! :)

Such beautiful card Barb! So fun to see how the themes of each challenge plays into the creation process!
Hello Barb
Your muted tones are a mix of warm and cool shades; grayed-down and exhibit a low key, yet natural complexity, this palette and card is beautiful.

Hi, Barb! These are the kind of snowflakes I love to see - on a card instead of on my driveway or the roads! :*) I do like to see the trees and ground covered when it first comes down.
I love he soft colors and the way you used the distress inks/mists for your card. So pretty!! Good luck in the challenges.
These colors are wonderful together, Barb - your card shows them off beautifully!

Love the non traditional colors for Christmas! So beautiful and soothing! I'm trying to find the matching snowflake for that die--thanks for sharing!
