Winter Holiday Celebrate Card based on a sketch

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! This is my 2nd card for the year and in about 5 months! It feels SO good to be creative! To think creatively! To get my fingers messy with 2 different stamp pad colors and a mid-blue paint stick!

This card is also combining 3 different challenge blogs' criteria. There's an anything goes winter/January theme, an inspo list of 10 items/themes that I have to use at least 3, and a Christmas/winter holiday card with sketch. I only gave or mailed out a few Christmas cards to my immediate family, so I've got belated cards made last year I need to get mailed asap and I'll include this one too.

Winter Holiday Celebrate Card:

Supplies: (1) bronze dazzle word is from Paper Wishes website; (2) snowflakes stencil is from Simple Stories; (3) gold and light blue cardstocks, A2 white card base & matching envelope, blue ink stamp pad, gold ink stamp pad, blue paint stick (from a set of 4 colors) are all from Art Skills' Crafters Choice; and the (4) blue foam snowflake sticker (from a huge set in 5 different colors bought years ago) is from Oriental Trading.

Challenges:

A. Festive Friday #0100= the 3 items I used were splatters, celebrate/celebration, and gold

blog post: https://festivefridaychallenge.com/festive-friday-challenge-ff0100/

B. The Four Seasons Challenge blog= anything goes winter/January challenge theme; I was inspired to use wintery blues and snowflakes (stenciling on the focal background and the large foam one); this is their mood board for January:
