Pale blue, light purple and teal were the 3 colours I opted to use for my card, working with SU! Soft Sky, Wisteria Wonder and Bermuda Bay. I stamped the sentiment and 3 snowflakes onto the white panel. I inked up the Weathered background stamp with Bermuda Bay, stamped off twice and then stamped onto the panel. I inked the edges with a sponge dauber and then decided to add some sparkle. I squished some Dazzling Details glitter glue onto my craft mat, rolled my brayer over it a few times and then lightly brayered the glitter glue over the panel. I layered onto Soft Sky and Wisteria Wonder mats and applied the panel to a 5 1/4" square white card base. I then added some punched Soft Sky snowflakes and sprinkled on some rhinestones.
Here's a closer look at the sparkle.
Here's the inside of the card and the envelope flap with just some simple stamping.

So pretty and sparkly, Ruth. You've picked the prefect colours for your snowflakes. Love that sentiment too.
Have a lovely weekend!

Fantastic! I adore snowflakes (not the real ones mind) on Christmas cards. I love the sparkle and bling and the sentiment is perfect. Love the inside and envelope too!
superbe Ruth, classe et magnifique, biz
oh Wow Ruth! This is so gorgeous. What a wonderful frosty Christmas card you've created. I think sometimes you and I must be related as we pick similar schemes and ideas for our cards (I used the same color combo this week) - great minds :o) Hope all is well. Hugs D
LOVE the shimmer and shine, friend! That sentiment is fabulous, too! Gorgeous! HUGS and happy weekend! :) Mynn xx
Hi Ruth! Love the colors you used. Your snowflakes are gorgeous!
I was not surprised that you went for a colour combo with purple! This is beautiful, sparkly, full of glitz and sparkle, just my kind of Christmas card.
