IC670, My Giant Snowflake

Photo Details

Poster: Benzi

Julie gave us a fabulous site for inspiration this week, The Photo Argus. IC670 {10/6/18} The Photo Argus by justwritedesigns at Splitcoaststampers

My inspiration was in the snowflake section. https://n7tpw52zdt-flywheel.netdna-s...nowflake15.jpg I placed my stencil and sponged through it for the rays, removed and finished sponging the complete card. I add some snow using Snow-Tex, just smeared on with my finger. The coarse Mica flakes really make things sparkle.
The large snowflake was found on Pinterest. I sized it and fussy cut. Snow and Mica flakes were added to it. I slit a couple of places to stick two of the points down into the snow. I added a couple of small flakes and a sentiment using a die cut and stamp.

Brenda, when I looked at your inspiration piece, I thought, WOW, Brenda did a remarkable job showcasing the inspiration piece! The card's purple background is beautiful and I love the sun rays. The Mica flake snowflake is beautiful! Love it!
