Welcome to the Jenn Shurkus Inspiration Party!! Jenn is celebrating 20 YEARS of blogging and I am so happy she started. Jenn’s been such a inspiration to the craft community and beyond. Her journey, generous heart and love for crafting makes the world a better place.
For the inspiration party, Jenn asked us to pick a card that we loved and recreate it our own way. Challenge was accepted happily! All things Jenn makes sparks inspiration but this card had my heart. The colors and design of this card is awesome. I love the rainbow colors of the background and the adorable top hat snowmen. You can find the card here on Jenn’s blog.
For my card I took inspiration from the snowmen and the colors. I started with stenciling my background with the Concord and 9th Merry Mix stencil pack. I used the snowflake stencil. For my colors I used Simon Says Stamp Punch, Melon, Butter, Celery, Seafoam and Lilac Pawsitively inks.
After I finished with the color, I went over the entire stencil with Gina K Designs Sparkle Gel Starlight. This gel is so pretty. While letting the background dry I started to work on my snowmen.
The Spellbinders Dancing Snowman (unfortunately no longer available) was the perfect size for my card. By only using the head of the snowman I was able to get all six on my card panel. By ink blending the scarves and earmuffs I was able to create color consistency with my card. These little snowmen are too cute.
This card needed a simple sentiment. The Concord and 9th Joyful stamp set was perfect. And for a finishing touch, I added a little bit of Tim Holtz Clear Rock Candy on the top of each brim of my hats.
Thanks Jenn for always inspiring this community with your beautiful cards, classes and techniques! Wishing you many, many more years of blogging and crafty.
