My card today is using the colors over at The Color Hues challenge. I love the purple and light blue pairing and thought the frosty colors would be perfect for some snow. Snow is probably a long way off for us here in central Virginia so I'll just have to make do with it in ink form for now.
I started with a Basic White base then used a smaller layer of Basic White and embossed the big Snow Crystal snowflake in white. Then using blending brushes and Balmy Blue and Highland Heather ink I blended from the top left corner starting with the Balmy Blue and ending with Highland Heather in the opposite corner.
A length of white iridescent ribbon anchors the right side of the card. The sentiment from More Wishes is stamped in Balmy Blue and is fussy cut and then popped on dimensionals in the lower corner.
I found a few stray iridescent adhesive sequins in my retired stash so I scattered some of those across the card front as the final embellishment.
All of the current products used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.
