Swirling Snow – Brightest Glow

Welcome back!  It’s already Wednesday…and deadlines are here again.

Several winter themes abound: Jingle Belles (#2524) for the annual Banner Case; Cupcake Inspirations (#632) Let it Snow; Four Seasons (December) and Park Hopping – My Happy Place (December) Winter in a Theme Park.

Bringing my ideas together with the Freshly Made (#715) Sketch.

 

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (11” x 4¼” scored at 5½”) Basic White Thick cardstock.
• Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Baja Breeze Plaid patterned piece of paper from the retired Parisian Breeze Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.
  • The sentiment, Season’s Greetings, from the retired Brightest Glow stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.
• Accent Shape: (2¼” x 3½”) Baja Breeze Dotted patterned piece of paper from the same Paper pack die-cut with the (2” x 3¾”) Arched die from the Everyday Arches Dies set, an On-Line Exclusive product.
• Accent Trim: (4” x ⅜”) Silver White Sparkle paper from the retired Myths & Magic Glimmer Paper pack.
• Cross Strip: (4” x 2”) Balmy Blue retired Textured Shimmer Paper dry-embossed with the retired Wintry (Snow Swirl) 3D Embossing Folder.
• Central Shape and More: (2½” x 3”) White retired Textured Shimmer Paper, from the same paper pack, die-cut with the three Snowflake dies from the retired Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies set.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  A few Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added to dress up the Snowflakes.

A cute country swirl of snowflakes makes for a pretty holiday card.

Thanks for spending some of your time with me today.  Cheers,  Jolanda!
