AAA Cards #82 Winter Chill

Today I'm honored to guest design with AAA Cards challenge. The theme in #82 challenge is winter chill.
 
 
 
 
Talking about winter chill, I think about snow and ice. I thought it would be fun to learn how to make reflection effects on ice. I searched "card stamping reflection" on youtube and found a few interesting techniques to pick up.
 
So here is the card I made. For the background, I applied distress ink chipped sapphire and squeezed lemonade. I tried to be careful not to blend the two colors. When I designed the card, I wanted the yellow ring to symbolize warm friendship that keep snow and coldness away. But when I showed it to my husband and kids, one said "Beautiful moon!" and another said "Beautiful starry night!" Oh well... at least it's beautiful...
 
 


Another view of the card, in front of my backyard with 9 inches of snow accumulated.



Hope you enjoyed the card and play along at AAA Cards too.
