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!
Looks just like stained glass, Lin - love your elegant snowflake with the embossed snowflake background!!
