Let's make some sensational snowflake cards. Use mostly neutral colors: choose from shades of brown, shades of gray, or black & white. Then add just a teeny tiny bit of color with ink, watercolors, and/or embellishments. Please see the list.

If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!

Well darn it all. I went ahead and did it . . . . . before I read all the directions. Do punches combined count as one specialty tool? Do ribbons and brads count as 1 embellishment since they are small brads? Do we count the layers before they are affixed to the actual card? It's all neutral and just a teeny tiny pop of color!
OK, here's mine. My new set, Time Well Spent arrived today, but I am so addicted to the challenges, I couldn't focus on it, knowing that Jen had posted this so early. So here is my challenge card and I'm free! I will have all day tomorrow to play with my new toy!

Punches - That's fine. It's one kind of tool.
layers - some people count the main card, some don't. either way is fine
ribbon and brads - that's 2 ;)
Here's mine. Peaceful Snowflakes Ooooh!! In my haste to play this morning I think I might have missed a couple of the rules about tools as I used both a paper piercer, distressing tool and oval punches. I din't cheat on purpose, Jen!
Here's mine. I hope it qualifies. I made a shaker card ('cause it's cute <grin>) and the beads could probably be considered another embellishment. I didn't think of that before.
Perfect challenge Jen! I need to design 2 snowflake cards for a stamping workshop I'm having at my church on 12/2! This will make me stop procrastinating!!

I may have abused the rules slightly by using both Hodgepodge Hardware, linen thread AND ribbon on the second card...sorry! I was on a roll and had good intentions...
