Welcome to another Christmas Challenge at Sparkles - this time we are celebrating snow!! Not something we often see at Christmas time in the UK - we seem to get it more at Easter - but we live in hope every year.
I've used a set from Gina K Designs and Simon Says Stamp for my card -inspired by one of Gina's own designs. It uses the snowflakes from her set Season of Joy. I actually bought this set just for the little mugs which come with it and, of course, the reindeer as I love reindeer. But the rest of the set is equally as lovely so I've used the snowflakes for my card.
I started off with some white cardstock and masked off a space for the sentiment. This is not part of this set and was something I had in my stash.
I used a number of Tim Holtz distress inks for the background until I got the muted colours I wanted - they included Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Chipped Sapphire, Shaded Lilac. I then used my embossing buddy to spread powder over the ink before I used Versamark for the two snowflakes. I used some Wow bright white embossing powder.
I slowly peeled off the masking tape and added the sentiment in Momento Tuxedo black ink. I added some dazzling diamonds to give the white background some sparkle and added some pale blue rhinestones. I then matted it onto some silver cardstock and then craft cardstock.
