Texture with Magnolia Vs. Stampavie!

Yes, it is Sunday and time for the Magnolia Vs. Stampavie Challenge! And this week it is a great challenge - to add texture to your cards! Bring as much Texture into your work,
Dry embossing, Flock, Fluffy stuff, Fabric - the possibilities are endless!

I had lots of different things bouncing around my empty head, but then my Magnolia stamp Club hit the mail box. Which was a REAL Surprise to me, because I thought it had run out this time and I didn't go and re-new it. But I was happy.. cuz these are some really cute images this time! (like sometimes they aren't LOL) I just love the ice skating couple!

And so I went with them first and then tried to figure out what texture I could add. Snow... and that meant puffy paint! And then I needed ice (slick is a texture too right?) and that is where I got really oddly creative. And sadly just doesn't look nearly as cool in the photo as it does in person! I don't know if you can even tell what it is... Aluminum foil and transparent shrink film. And in person it really does look like a shiny ice! I purposely put the puffy paint on with lines in it so it would have even more texture to it. And the falling snow is really high dots - it took hours to dry!

And of course Tilda and Edwins white fur has lots of stickles on them - :0)

All of this is right on top of the pattern paper from Memory Box, I love this pattern, so easy and fun to work with! It is sewed down to a sage green mat with a zig zag stitch. Then attached to the light blue card stock base.

My pretty skaters are pop dotted on their frozen pond to create a shadow. My sentiment is from Whiff of Joy, and is on a label cut with my Spellbinders Nestibilites. I stamped with a VersaMark pad and embossed with white, then gel pen stitched the edge. I used glittered white brads to attach.

It really is a simple card, but I love it. Don't know if it my cute couple, the snow or ice I like. But I am happy with the end result.

I hope you will have a go at this weeks Magnolia Vs. Stampavie challenge - Texture is so fun!
