The latest Hero Arts Flickr Scramble.....

.......was this afternoon, hosted by Betty, and her theme today was snowflakes, a favorite theme of mine too!  She asked us to use the color blue along with any neutral, and make it into a tag.  Talk about good timing!  I just received this morning a package from Simon Says Stamp which included this BIG woodblock snowflake by Hero Arts called Dazzling Snowflake.  So I was only too happy to join the scramble; here is what I made:

This baby is big!  It measures almost 4 1/2" across!  Doesn't it look like a big lacy doily?  I started by white embossing it on my tag, then sponging on faded jeans, chipped sapphire, and a little salty ocean distress inks.  Then I overstamped some smaller snowflakes from various Hero Arts clear sets in faded jeans.  I added this pretty pearl brad that was given to me by Sue Czosek years ago, I think, and die-cut the "joy" and small snowflake from my Wplus9 Seasonal Sentiments die set, sponging the snowflake in the same blues I used for the background.  And I added some white seam binding to finish.

If you're a snowflake lover, too, hop on over to the Hero Arts Flickr group discussion topic and see the beauties that resulted from Betty's challenge today!
