We're Inspired by this Color Story!!
THANKSGIVING
I was in the Winter Mood so I used this color story to create a Winter SnowFlake Card!!
These colors reminded me of my FAVORITE Winter Scarf and Gloves and I thought it would be FUN to create a card using the New Fresh Snow Stamp Set and the Snowflake Dies!!
I started with a Kraft card base and layed out my Snowflake Design using the Snowflake Dies!!
I ran them through my Sizzix Big Shot Machine and created the base for my card!! I then die cut each of the Snowflakes out of some coordinating Felt!! I was lucky enough to have each of the colors!! I wanted an inlayed look so I placed each felt snowflake into its matching die cut position!! First I wanted to add some Crystal snowflakes so to do this I took the Fresh Snow Stamps and Stamped them in Versa Mark Ink then took my Sticky Stuff and Embossed them so I could coat them with the Dry Rock Candy Distress Glitter!! My FAVORITE Glitter right now!! =)
I LOVE them way they look!! To set them I hit them again with my heat gun and the Glitter won't flake off!! I glued my Felt Snowflakes in place and then added some Pearls for the centers of them and to add a Sentiment I stamped onto a strip of Vellum and Embossed it with White Embossing Powder by Hero Arts!! I Folded it around my card and added a few more Pearls to finish it off I went around the card with my White Memroy Box Pigment Ink!! I smeared it with my finger for a softer look like a dusting of Snow!! I LOVE the way my card came together and I hope you do too!!??

I also added some Glitter to the back of my card beings a couple of the Snowflakes have cut out and you can see through so that they would feel more sparkly!! You can see it better in this close up picture!! I hope you'll play along this week over on the
Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge Blog!! Also go check out all of the other PSS DT Blogs for even more Amazing Inspiration!!
THANKS so much for stopping by today and have a Fabulous Week!!
I'm also linking this up the the Gallery of the Holiday Online Card Workshop Class!! Jennifer McGuire shared a FUN Wood in layed card design and I thought it would be FUN to do this with Paper and Felt!! Thanks for looking!! =)
