Just Us Girls #267 - Color Week

This week at Just Us Girls it's Color Week.  Sharyn, here,  I am your hostess, and the colors I have chosen are Red, Turquoise and Gold or yellow.  You can, also, use neutrals such as, white, black, kraft,  ivory, brown or gray.

Here's my card


When I was young, my parents,  my brother and I used to go ice skating.  We used to go to a place in Indianapolis called Lake Sullivan.  In the Winter, after the lake froze,  it was transformed into a beautiful ice skating rink.  There were hills for sledding too.  We had a slide-in camper that fit in the back of my dad's truck that we took with us.  It was a warm place to get out of the cold, and we were able to make hot chocolate......such good memories!

The stamp set I used is called On Ice and is available at Papertrey Ink.  The background stencil is from Tim Holtz and is called Holiday Knit.  I saw it a few weeks ago on a Kristina Werner video, and thought it was so cute.  It was perfect for my Winter themed card.  I used Dap Lightweight Spackle and some GKD turquoise sea ink to create my background.  I used some black embroidery thread to lace the skates and added some pom poms.  The sentiment was embossed with gold embossing powder on Vellum.  Thanks for coming by to look!
