The card I shared yesterday was the first card I made with Pinkfresh Studio's Folk Snowflake. I went on to make several more variations. The first one was made for a blogging friend who has a love of the color pink.
I white embossed it on pink paper and used some new Pinkfresh Studio inks (cherry blossom, peony, begonia) to color it with the stencil. The sentiment is from Gina K's Blizzard.
This snowflake was gold embossed and colored with Pinkfresh Studio's Turquoise, Paradise and Atlantis inks. I layered the PFS Snowflake Cover Plate and then the Art Deco Frame onto an aqua blue card base before adding the snowflake with some dimensional tape. The sentiment and die are from the Folk Snowflake set. I layered three of them together before adding it to the snowflake.
This card proved to be almost impossible to photograph. The card base is a beautiful silver shimmer, but shows up almost like a beige. Definitely not, and much prettier in real life. After coloring this snowflake with Waterfall, Paradise and Atlantis I added it to an already foiled panel I found in my stash. The foiling plate is Waffle Flower's Tiny Dots.
I didn't know what I'd think of a snowflake on a green background, but it might be my favorite in the end. The background panel was dry embossed with Honey Bee's Winter Gems Cover Plate. It's not an easy cover plate to use, but came out well this time, and I love it on Concord & 9th's Evergreen cardstock. It was added to a gold shimmer card base.
After embossing, this snowflake was colored with Ocean Breeze, Mermaid Cove, and Emerald City inks. I added some PFS Gold Glitter dots for a final embellishment.
The sentiments included in this set are great because they could (and were) used for holiday cards, but with the right sentiment on the inside, would work equally well for a winter birthday or other winter celebration. Case in point is the card I posted here that I gave to my hairdresser as a birthday, holiday, and retirement card.
I can be guilty of buying new products and taking months (even a year or more) before I put them to use. Not so with these snowflakes. I think I'm done with them for now, but I'm sure they'll reappear next winter.
I'm adding two of these to the Pinkfresh December Challenge: Holiday Vibes which is still open.
