Ice Skate Card

Here is a fun shaped card for you today! I used the ice skate from Winter Woodland to create the shape. I welded two shadow images, using my Gypsy, to create the card base. The skates are 5.556" tall. The ice skater is also from Winter Woodland. She is cut at 4." I embossed her dress with my Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I added some glossy accents to her ice skates and flocking to the white trim of her dress. I used pop-dots to adhere her to the card. My sentiment is a Fiskars stamp that I stamped using blue iris ink by ColorBox. I trimmed the white paper down and matted it with some pink cardstock cut 1/8" larger. I then adhered the ends down, curving it over her leg. I finished it off with two pink pearls.

I made this card for the following challenges:

  14. You did a wonderful job on the welding to make the shape Ice Skate card. I like my Gypsy for welding but have a lot to learn about doing so. I like the pattern paper you used on the skate. Have a nice day.
