Julie has a sparkling challenge for you at the Color Hues Challenge this time around.
My card evolved during the rush of making holiday cards. I had recently purchased the Simon Says "Triangle Burst" 3-D embossing folder, and embossed this silver paper after seeing two cards, one Instagram and one on a blog, using this embossing folder. Finding just the right focal point to add to it took me longer than I expected, but this snowflake was just right.
I immediately thought of this upcoming color challenge and abandoned any idea of creating a holiday card. I have several January birthdays and this card will soon be on its way to one of my best friends.
The beautiful snowflake is Simon Says' "Marie Snowflake" and is cut from white glitter paper. The sentiment is from one of my oldest Papertrey Ink sets "Vintage Picnic Sentiments." I embossed it in silver on the same silver paper I used for the embossing folder.
Although you can see some of the glitter and shine in the photographs, this card is much more beautiful in person.
I hope this wonderful color combination inspires you to make a card and join us at Color Hues this time around. Check out all the inspiration the Design Team and our Guest Designer, Stephanie, have in store for you.
