Pinkfresh Studio Large Snowflakes and 12x12 Cardstock Shop Paper




I purchased these gorgeous Pinkfresh Studio Large Snowflakes, aren't they stunning? I wanted to make gold snowflakes, so I ordered the Encore Gold Sequin cardstock from 12x12 Cardstock Shop. It is so sparkly and the best part is, it's easy to diecut and it doesn't shed glitter.



I made this card a bit larger, A6 size. It's 4.75" x 6". I buy A6 size envelopes because I frequently make card panels A2 size and want a border around it. I wanted to use artistic license here and fit 5 snowflakes. 

The pink cardstock is Neenah Rose Quartz Pearlescent cardstock. It's the perfect shade of pink and has an irredescent shine. I cut it to A6 size, cut the white panel from Cordenons white Faux Leather Cardstock to A2 size, 4.25" x 5.5". I popped this onto the pink cardstock with fun foam for dimension.

I cut the snowflakes from both pink and the gold cardstock. I popped out all the negative space of the gold snowflakes and glued the gold snowflakes to the pink snowflakes, reinserting the pink negative space. I arranged the snowflakes onto the white panel. I thought the card needed some filler, so I used a regular hole punch and cut out the "sequins". I glued these randomly on the card. 

I hot foiled a bunch of these  Spellbinders Mini Christmas Sentiment strips with gold foil. Luckily I had the perfect sentiment for this card!

I love the way this turned out, so festive and shiny!
