DT 66 - Ski Snowfall Double Shaker

 Welcome to Double Trouble Challenge #66!

This week, it's all about creating a scene - any season, any location, etc. The second part of the challenge is to add some form of transportation to your scene and then link up with The Paper Girls challenge (#207). The condensed graphic is below - additional details can be found on the Double Trouble blog.


 
This card took me quite some time to complete - it's all created using various Cricut cuts. I cut various trees, the moose and the skiis first and inked around the edges of all the pieces. The background was sponged using Distress Oxide inks and then a white chalk marker was used to create snow. The back layer of trees was adhered directly to the background and I added some snowy confetti along with some silver stars to turn that piece into a shaker. The remaining trees were adhered onto the acetate and then more snowy confetti was added. The top layer was created by welding some ovals together to look like a snowy hill. I adhered the moose and and skis just under that top piece of acetate and added a sentiment along with some silver embellishing thread. The final layer was placed on top of the previous layer to create two separate sections with snow. I inked the white area on the front with a very light Linen ink pad as snow is never really white :)

  2. So much fun texture and elements on this card! Perfect for a Utah card because it's all about snow and skiing here! Very cute :)

  3. Quite a contrast between our clipart; but your shaker card is beautiful and a winter scene we had so many of back East. Should have used your moose on my card... lol but I included the photo I was able to get in Wyoming jeep trip.

  5. Such sparkle, Alyson! Your card is fabulous and I really need to try this "double" technique. Our weather is beginning to change here in Arizona - finally! The nights are cooler and so pleasant. I don't miss the heavy snow of Northern New York State one bit!
