Let It Snow

Let it snow!!

Here is a snowflake card which was kind of fun to make.  I wanted to get a snowflake in metallic white using the Tim Holtz die.  The white metallic paper was too thick to cut the intricate spaces, but the outside edges cut fine.  So I carefully removed the snowflake from the die.  You can see the cuts the die made into the metallic paper leaving a sort of an embossed look.

The basic card is black with a buffalo plaid cover.  The snowflakes (3) were attached to an embossed white piece and then placed on a black frame.

Hope you can see the details of the snowflake.

I'll be posting this card to the following challenges:

Merry Christmas

The weather outside is rainy and icy or so I have been told.  I haven't gone out and won't till the temperature rises a bit.   So, since I cannot run my errands, I'll make cards!  Love it!

Here is my 'merry' card for the Time Out Challenge  #150 - Merry & Cheerful.  I love Christmas plaids and snowflakes (paper snowflakes, that is).  The base card is a pretty green and the plaid paper is framed in white.  

The snowflake is the Tim Holtz die which I straight cut the edges to fit the sides of the card.  I've had the Merry Christmas die for sometime and don't remember the supplier.  I cut a white and a red sentiment and placed the red atop the white for a white, snowy shadow effect.  The card looks a little busy, but I like it!

 
 


 

 
Have a great weekend!
