Silver Sparkle Snowflakes...

Hi there,

This week at the Paper Players is CAS week and LeAnne is bringing us this fun challenge:


I wanted to use the fab silver glimmer paper and some embossed silver snowflakes so after playing around for a bit, ended up with this...


It's probably not the 'CASiest' (is that a word??) card ever but I thought seeing as it's got lots of white, it may qualify... lol! I started with the sketch from Create with Connie & Mary this week:
When I saw the sketch I thought it would work well with lots of white so I cut a white card base with the largest Labels framelit die so that the fold was under the point (giving it a hinge) - I also trimmed the point off the bottom so it will stand up properly. Then I cut another piece of the same size label from Shimmer White card and glued over the top to hide the hinge and trimmed base. The next layer was the second largest framelit from the same set, again cut from Shimmer White card, then embossed with the Lacy Brocade EF. I added a strip of silver glimmer paper to this piece and tied some white organza ribbon around in a bow. The ornaments were made by stamping two of the snowflakes from Snowflake Soiree on Whisper White and embossing with silver EP, then cutting them out with the ornaments framelits. I added some silver dazzling details to the tops of the ornaments as well. The sentiment (from More Merry Messages) was embossed with silver EP, cut into a banner and layered over a strip of silver glimmer paper. I wish I could show this one to you IRL cos the photo just doesn't show all the shimmer and sparkle... I'm loving how this one turned out!

The rest of the Paper Players team have some fabulous inspiration for you this week...
