Frosted Flurries - FTL261

 

Creating another Christmas card!  I used the sketch found on the Clean & Simple Blog.  You may view the challenge here (as well as all the other cards created with the sketch): http://cleanandsimplestamping.blogspot.com/2013/10/261.html

Thank you!

Two notes to mention as I created this card.  After die-cutting the snowflake.... I noticed it blended too much into the background piece.  So, I used a marker (Smoky Slate) to trace around the edges of the snowflake to make it more defined.  I used only a portion of the sentiment (the word 'Peace') using a marker (Basic Black).

Not sure if I like how heavy this card is with the 3 snowflake embellishments though.... it'll definitely be a hand delivered card rather than a mailed one.

Thanks for taking a look!

Calm Flurry

I created several attempts at this card before I liked the results, shown here.  I originally thought to use three different colors with three different snowflakes. Also, I wanted it to shimmer a bit (kinda like snowflakes sparkling), so tried to use shimmer paint and illuminating ink with disappointing results.

I settled on using only two colors and two different snowflake stamps.  Instead of shimmer ink.... I added rhinestones to the centers of the snowflakes along with the silver ribbon to make it shine.
