Julie has a sparkling challenge for you at the Color Hues Challenge this time around.
My card evolved during the rush of making holiday cards. I had recently purchased the Simon Says “Triangle Burst” 3-D embossing folder, and embossed this silver paper after seeing two cards, one Instagram and one on a blog, using this embossing folder. Finding just the right focal point to add to it took me longer than I expected, but this snowflake was just right.
I immediately thought of this upcoming color challenge and abandoned any idea of creating a holiday card. I have several January birthdays and this card will soon be on its way to one of my best friends.
The beautiful snowflake is Simon Says’ “Marie Snowflake” and is cut from white glitter paper. The sentiment is from one of my oldest Papertrey Ink sets “Vintage Picnic Sentiments.” I embossed it in silver on the same silver paper I used for the embossing folder.
Although you can see some of the glitter and shine in the photographs, this card is much more beautiful in person.
I hope this wonderful color combination inspires you to make a card and join us at Color Hues this time around. Check out all the inspiration the Design Team and our Guest Designer, Stephanie, have in store for you.
Gosh the embossing looks fab here Karen, so much dimension and the sweet snowflake is the perfect accent. 🙂
You found the perfect focal point! So many options with the gorgeous 3D texture, I love this card!
A perfectly frosty look with the silver embossing and snowflake! Great card!
I like this card & the detail in colour & texture made me winter shiver. I think many of us forget to use the snowflake stickers or dies outside of Christmas.
What a stunning effect on that card. Fab!
That embossing folder is totally fab! Such a great card, Karen! Have a great week!
I can see why you purchased that EF as it is so very cool and with the silver paper, even more so! I think the snowflake was the perfect selection. Kare, this is such an attractive Birthday card! Have a great week and stay warm!
That embossing folder if fabulous, and I love the way it makes your glittery snowflake radiate. Wonderful creation and great use of the colors. Thanks so much for wlecoming me as GD for this challenge.
You’ve created a lovely 3D stage for the pretty snowflake; it’s like a frosty wintry wonderland! Gorgeous!
