I have another card to share with you that uses new dies from Spellbinders/Becca Feeken. She has a new holiday collection out called Holiday Medley, and I used her All is Calm dies to make a glitzy snowflake card.
supplies: white and Audrey Blue card, silver mirror card, Spellbinders All is Calm dies (includes 2 sentiments), a snowflake embossing folder, silver and aqua pearls
When I think of Becca, I think of elegant designs, so I chose some silver metallic cardstock and paired it with aqua for my card. I paper-pieced in some of the tile design, adding pearls, then cut a 2nd frame from silver and turned it 90 degrees before attaching it to the ornate one to make an 8-point snowflake. There are 2 sentiments in this set - I chose the snow one and cut it twice from both colors and layered them a bit offset to carry the sparkle all the way down the card.
I also considered making this "snowflake" into a tree ornament by adding a hanger to the top, and that could still be done if the card is dismantled and backed with a 2nd pieced square. The silver would certainly reflect the tree lights nicely!
As always, my thanks to Spellbinders for allowing me to play with their goodies!
