What a fun site for today's Inspiration Challenge! I really love all the shapes of these fabulous Wooden Snowflakes. Since they don't have a real color, I decided to go w/ a cobalt and white/silver combo. Snowflakes always make me think of these colors.
I made the bg on the card w/ all the snowflakes in a brand new set from Our Daily Bread designs. I embossed some of the smaller ones and stamped the larger ones w/ the cobalt ink for a little tone on tone. I'm also adding this to the FC Gallery as I have a hanging ornament on my card, and the bookmark was planned as a tree ornament.
For the bookmark, I stamped it with the indigo pigment ink and embossed it with the stardust powder then die cut it with the bookmark die. The sentiment was stamped with the silver pigment ink and embossed with the same powder and die cut with an oval die. I made the bookmark double sided thinking it would make a lovely Christmas tree ornament until after the holidays. Then it could be used as a traditional bookmark. On my coordinating card, I embossed the snowflakes on the cobalt blue background and also stamped most of them again using the cobalt dye ink. I embossed one extra small snowflake and die cut it w/ a circle die to add in the center of the white holiday tag ornament star I hung from the white bow. The sentiment was also embossed on white, die cut attached to a larger cobalt oval then to a white die cut fancy tag. I added some crystals for a little extra bling.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, all the details and links for the ODBD Release Hop are on my blog: The Write Stuff
