KLSNS Nov. Challenge - Snowflakes
Over at KL Stampin N Scrapin blog the November Challenge is Snowflakes!! It's times like this that make me wish I had a snowflake punch because Deb created an awesome snowflake tutorials with all kinds of awesome things to do with punched out snowflakes. But since I would only use snowflakes once a year I try not to buy one...however, someone should hint to my family that it would make a great present!!
Anyway, back to my card. Luckily for me, I still had 1 more of these blue metal snowflakes that I picked up at Michael's 2 years ago. I've been trying really hard to use up my supplies that I've been hoarding!! I took my snowflake and pressed it onto my Essential Glue pad. Then, I poured glitter all over it!! Yummy glittery goodness!!
Next, I stamped large dots with white ink onto blue cardstock. I printed off some blue text from my computer and added a strip of that as well to a silver card base. I finished the card off with some blue twill, a button, some twine, and a small tag with my Christmas sentiment. Oh yeah, and 2 of the corners are rounded.
All in all, I kinda like this card. Thanks to KLSNS for encouraging me to use up this snowflake!!

This is a totally awesome card Donelda!! I love the metal snowflake idea!
Perfect way to dress up this snowflake -- awesome sparkle and color!
This is GORGEOUS!!! Love the colors, layout, bit of text mixed with the patterned paper.... it's all delish :)
I don't use enough blue, this is perfect. I love the white dots on the blue paper, they turned out so perfect.
