Hope the weather's not too bad in your neck of the woods. We were supposed to get some freezing rain today, but seem to have escaped... at least until Monday.
I'm here today with a card inspired by the Shopping Our Stash Stickle Me Elmo and the Simon Says Winter Birthday Challenges.

- A recent Kristina Werner video was my starting point for the big circles.
- I then stamped the snowflakes, going with a pinkish/purplish color for a little contrast.
- Silver Stickles were added later to add a little glisten to these snowflakes.
- Next, I filled in the card base smaller blue snowflakes and circles.
- Finally, heat embossing with a silver powder was used to create the sentiment strip and add a shimmery border.
Something tells me that my sparkle-y friend with a late January birthday is going to love this card. :)
Parting Thoughts
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Thanks for stopping and happy scrappin'!
This is beautiful, Sybrina! Love those big circles and how you've overlapped them, and your snowflakes really pop with those colors - wow! The stickles add a special sparkle and your embossed sentiment is perfect with these colors. Well done!!

Hello Sybrina: I've seen Christina's video and loved it, your did a wonderful job with this card, overlapping the circles makes it look 3D.
ReplyDeleteLove the pop of red on your stickle covered snowflakes and the way you added the sentiment with vellum so your beautiful design wouldn't be covered.
Thank you for sharing your card with us at SHOPPING OUR STASH!
