And here is my second card for this challenge. This one was a struggle to make, I'm thankful I persevered. I was inspired by this beautiful macaron: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/77476056060867268/
First I blended the three distress oxide inks over the background, spritzed with water, added some more Broken China here and there and spritzed with water. I added a little Perfect Pearls during this process as well.
I found that I had a Snowflake builder punch from Creative Memories and punched that to be used as a stencil. My white craft inkpad needed re-inking so the first few stencils were quite faint. I stenciled snowflakes randomly here and there and added Wink of Stella. I heat embossed the sentiment (the stamp actually has wording about and below the word Sparkle) and heat embossed a snowflake from the Snow Buddies set.
I wrapped silver cord around, added the Wink of Stella covered sentiment, and popped up the snowflake. The entire front panel is popped up on fun foam.
Now I'm going to look at it and pretend it is much cooler than the triple digits outside! Thanks for looking.

I really like the colors. I haven't used the oxide inks yet but this piece is making me wonder if I should invest in a few of them. I love this background. Great job.
