Dreaming of Colder Weather

Today's cards are influenced heavily by my wish for cooler weather.  A trip to the mountains would be in my future if I had even one single day of vacation left!

The first card would be great for a winter retirement (or someone wishing for cooler weather like me).  I did an ink smooshing technique for the bg (drug some black ink on some aluminum foil, spritzed with a bunch of water and slapped my paper on it).  Next, I heat embossed the new See You Later Alligator image.  Added a few little Skippy the Penguins to match the 'til then Penguin part of the image.  Fun!

I had to share my next card  too.  It was made for the Featured Stamper Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.  I cased THIS awesome card by AJ Bodine. I was inspired by her colors and swirls.  To make it, I sponged on a bunch of colors for the top panel and covered it all with walnut distress ink over a stencil.  I heat embossed Dream Big Graduation Greeting, Interlocking Snow Background and Small Merry Christmas and layered it all up on top of another stenciled background.
