LIMES - Red Snowflake

Welcome to this week's LIMES inspiration post!

I chose this layout as my inspiration from the gallery of this week’s Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper:

LIST: Colours (dark grey, red, beige, white, gold) , Techniques (digital scrapbook) , Elements (large rich coloured panel with photo and elements in red, white and gold. Snowflakes, poinsettia, ornament, stars)

INCLUDE: dark grey, red, beige, white, gold, background panel, snowflake

MODIFY: watercoloured panel, focal panel is one large snowflake

EXCLUDE: photo, ornament, stars, poinsettia, greenery

SPIN: doodled gold frame

I always think it’s fun to translate a scrapbook layout into a card. I have been learning how to incorporate simple watercolour techniques into my card making and this background was the perfect opportunity. My background colours dried back quite a bit, but I have that kind of L shaped red area with the lighter beige on the right side. I felt like the snowflake needed a frame, so I drew inspiration from the digital gold ‘thread’ in the layout and doodled a frame with a thin gold pen.
