Snowflake Cheer

Hi crafty friends - I'm back with my third and final entry for the March Christmas Kickstart Challenge to use snowflakes. My card is different than originally planned but here you go:

Supplies: Paper - Ms Sparkle A2 card; Hero Arts black; 
Neenah white; Anchor Paper
Dies - Hero Arts Snowflake Confetti;
Other - Distress & Distress Oxide Inks; white gel pen;
Spellbinders ephemera from Oct19 Sparkling Holidays kit

I cut the Snowflake background into a 4.25x5.5" white panel, saving the confetti. Die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle. Blended inks (Speckled Egg, Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Milled Lavender, & Villanous Potion) onto the panel. Spritzed it with a bit of water and, once dry, added some dots with a white gel pen. Backed the panel with a greyish lineny paper and matted with black. Adhered to a lavender A2 card.

I had planned to use a die cut snowflake swirl but couldn't find the die so I had to punt. Pulled out an old Spellbinders kit and used a snowflake & sentiments from there. Added a few confetti snowflakes - done! I really love the Spellbinders kits for the ephemera - really makes a quick addition to a background. Another Christmas card for the stash - thanks to Jo & elf Carol.

Thanks for stopping and I hope you'll pop back on the 31st for my last day of the month Die Cut Diva post. We're doing birthdays until 9pm Pacific that day so check it out HERE!

  7. Wonderful use of the elements. Your Christmas cards always "feel" so Christmassy and seasonal.
