Pink Christmas ... for the cure!

Hi everyone.  Today I'm playing along with the Pink Christmas for the cure! challenge at Jingle Belles.  This is their special challenge of the year where Stef and Lauren donate $2 ea for each entry of this challenge to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  Thanks to Stef and Lauren for this wonderful challenge!

I started my card by heat embossing Snowflake Background (Hero Arts - retired) in white onto a mixed media card panel.  I then ink blended three colours of pink DOX inks:  Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry to create a fun and bright sky behind a snowy hillside die (Sloping Hillside - Poppy Stamps - retired).  I cut out a second piece with the Sloping Hillside from silver metallic card and glued it over top of the white base, offsetting it slightly so it looks like the trees have snow-covered branches. :)  Finished the card by stamping the sentiment (Christmas Sentiments - Hero Arts - retired) in Silver Delicata ink.  Easy and fun card to make!

I thought I'd try the same ink blending paired with black accents. :)

This time I ink blended the sky in pink inks before adding a die-cut village (Winter Village - Penny Black) - this time in black.  Splattered my panel with diluted black acrylic paint before popping it up on my card base with a foam layer.  Stamped the sentiment (Bright & Light - Penny Black) in Kitsch Flamingo ink.

I'm sending the above card to Christmas Craft Creations October Challenge - Monochromatic.

Thanks for the challenge!
