I made this for MariLynn's MIX118 Smash challenge, combining it with the current ODBD Scripture Challenge - which let me include a Scripture with a reference to time, for yesterday's WT challenge.
When I finally got a decent smash background, I started masking with fluid, but it tore the paper when I started peeling it back (I guess that regular card stock is a bit less hardy than watercolour paper), so I had to start all over again trying to get a good background and then mask again. I stamped the sentiment, then stamped and embossed larger snowflakes in silver. Then I used paper masks and stamped the small and large leaves, and more small snowflakes. I added some chunky white EP and then edged it with gold before adding to a white base.
The little flowers are from Sing to The Lord, sponged with pink, fussy cut and then a deeper pink sponged round the edges, white gel pen detail added, and Stickles in the centre. The butterfly is from Faith, sponged, covered with Stickles and fussy-cut.

Oh Sabrina, if this card is this magnificent in the photo, it must just be breathtaking in person. If I ever made something this stunning, I would get a little easle and stand it on the fire place mantel. The metalic and glitter accents sparkel like jewels. It reminds me of a beautiful little box that I once admired in an antique shop. It was so outrageously expensive. A "Sabrina creation".

Sabrina, this is fantastic. There are so many wonderful details to look at. I love the popped up flowers and especially that beautiful butterfly. I love the embossed snowflakes. How neat to incorporate something from each season into one card.

Wow! Gorgeous! The verse is great for the challenge (I used it, too). I really like how you put it in the center on top of the background you created. The ring of flowers & foliage is beautiful. Very nicely done. TFS
