Frosted Snowflakes

Was in the mood to create a card and needed some inspiration.  Looked through my email Inbox and found some blog challenges with plenty of inspiration!  
Created a winter card using papers from the Frosted kit along with the Single Snowflake stamp and Snowflakes embossing folder.  The Snowflakes embossing folder was what "sold" me on purchasing a Cuttlebug several years ago.  It creates such a pretty background, and is so easy to use.  Embossing with the folders adds great texture to projects.  A few Sparkles were added for glistening snow. 

This week's Friday Mashup Challenge (FM139) is to create a "Winter project using Embossing," so that was the basis for my card.  Then the Color My Heart blog posted Color Dare #73 which is to use colors from the Frosted paper pack.  The colors that I used are Frosted Grey and Frosted Turquoise along with Twilight, Slate, and Whisper ink.  Some metallic silver Washi Tape behind the zig-zag paper adds a bit of sheen.  Layout of the card is based on the fun sketch this week at CAS(E) this Sketch! (CTS #57).  



All papers and stamps are from Close To My Heart (CTMH).

      Thank you! I was surprised at how easily the three challenges went together. That was not my original plan, but it worked out. :)

    Previously, I've only seen this snowflake used on it's own. I love the cluster! Thanks so much for joining the Color Dare this week.

    Fantastic job combining challenges! The embossed background looks beautiful in blue, and the touches of shimmer (washi) and sparkle (tiny gems) add warmth to this cool colour scheme. Thanks for linking up with Color My Heart this week. Hope to see you again!
