Stuck on U Sketches -Die Cut Team - SNOWFLAKE challenge. A Canvas

Hello and hope this finds you having a super crafty day! Below you will find my CANVAS.

Over at Stuck On U Sketches (SOUS) the challenge this time is to incorporate a SNOWFLAKE into your work.

I thought instead of a card I would use snowflakes on a canvas. I found this really cool stencil from StencilGirl. I also found my super cool snowflakes stamps and badges from 3rd Eye. I used my Cameo to cut out my Snowflake. There were so many options to choose from, it was hard to stop at one. I should have chosen a bigger canvas to go snowflake crazy on!!

Here is the final product:

I will include some close ups so you can see all the fun I had. 

Supply list:

Paper Temptress  Lustre Package 
StencilGirl Snow Storm Stencil 
3rd Eye Snowflake Badge TEBS007 and Crystal SnowflakesStamp - TES-183
Tim Holtz Distress Ink : Iced Spruce

There ya have it. I hope you will join us for these next two weeks and pop a snowflake onto one of your projects. Is it snowing where you live? Do you have any great photos involving you or your loved ones in the snow? I can't wait to have you join us in this challenge. Make sure to check out the rest of the Design Team's inspiration. You will love it!!

Paper Temptress - Snowflake

Hello Crafters

Today's my day up on the Paper Temptress Blog.
The piece I'm showing today is the first half. The rest of the project can be seen when it goes live on my blog on Friday.
The focus on this piece is Snowflake.
I am using the Laser Lustre package to make these pieces. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the scalloped circles and cut the letters with this pretty font that had snowflakes embedded into the letters.

In the close up you can see the two different Lustre papers I used.

In these next 2 close ups you can see my 3rd Eye Snowflake Badge and stamp and my Viva Decor Metallic Rubs on my StencilGirl Snow Storm stencil.

Look out below! :)

In the above you can see what I cut on the Cameo focusing on my Paper Temptress Specialty Papers. Paper Temptress papers can help you with any project you come across.
Check out the Paper Temptress store today!

~Scraps of Darkness~ Snow

These were the rules for the OCT - NOV STALKER CHALLENGE:
The Rules:
1. Use at least 50 % Scraps of Darkness product. This can be kit product or store product.
2. Stalk the internet or your files for a black and white image. This does not have to be an artsy photo, it can be one that you have and just change to black and white.
3. Scrap your layout in a black and white or black and cream color scheme. You can have some touches of color, but at least 80 % must be black and white or black and cream.
4. The most important rule of all-HAVE FUN!!

So I wanted it to be simple, clean , stark, silent... all the things I associate with snow. Only his tongue has the color. lol.
Make sure to check out SCRAPS OF DARKNESS .

Used my VIVA DECOR - CREAM PEN on the letters with Black Diamond Stickles
