Ski Party

Hello Nomad friends.  When I saw the Maja Design Moodboard and their Holiday in the Alps papers I decided to make a card for a friend of mine.  She is a brunette, likes to ski, and I am sure, if everyone didn't wear neon blue and pink puffy ski gear, then she would look quite like this slaloming down the slopes.


All the papers used in this project are Maja Designs Holiday in the Alps collection.


I started by folding a 15 x 15cm card base from the Snowflakes sheet, dark pattern out.  I cut the large skier from the Slalom sheet and distressed the edges with my craft knife.  Then I inked the distressed edges with various blue inks.  The 'winter' border is also from the Slalom sheet.  I like that they print useful borders on the backside of the name strip so you can use all of the sheet.


I cut along the side of her skis and slipped in the winter border, which I had inked the edges of, in under the skis.  I cut Stamplorations Linked Hearts die from the Let It Snow and Monochrome Frost sheet and paper pieced the snowflake hearts back in the plain blue border.  I cut the Sizzix Snowflakes and Fun letters (from a Stamplorations phrase die) also from the Frost sheet.  I used Wink of Stella clear to add subtle glitter effect to the snowflakes and also to the snow around her skis.  I used white ink around the edge of the base card and added a couple of pale blue half pearls to the Winter border.  I also added some tiny white stickers to the snowflakes.

This was really fun to make.  Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
