On a recent visit to the Glitter Pot I saw the Sizzix 'Lace Pattern Card Front' Thinlits die and I fell in love with it immediately, I don't think anything has landed into my basket quicker! I die cut the lace from black CS, cut a piece of grey and white patterned paper to go behind the lace and glued them together. I adhered the lace panel to the front of a 5 1/4" square Smoky Slate card base, cutting off some of the lace panel from the left side. I stamped a snowflake in VersaMark on black CS and heat embossed with Winter Wonderland embossing powder which is a mixture of white and silver. I die cut the snowflake, popped it up on a white larger die cut snowflake and popped that up on the card. I stamped a smaller snowflake in Smoky Slate ink, fussy cut just the centre part and glued it over the top and added a rhinestone to the centre. I stamped the sentiment, die cut the fishtail flag banners, glued the black one flat but popped up the white banner. I added a bling snowflake embellishment to finish off the front.
Here's the inside and the envelope. I'm always happy to make a snowflake themed card!
So that's what I made with the fab colour combo - now it's over to you! I look forward to seeing your entries into this week's 52 {C}CT challenge and I hope you enjoy making your cards as much as I enjoyed making mine!
