Silver Snowflakes

 

Hello

welcome to my little crafting place! 

It's Spellbinders Club time again, and as it's July it must be Christmas. Obviously!

 I struggle to even *think* about Christmas till the end of September, and then I panic as I've no idea what to do for my festive greetings cards!  So it does me no harm to do a few seasonal things and then let the whole idea of it stew away in the back of my mind for a while longer!

The snowflake Glimmer of the Month plate is so beautiful - and will be perfect for making simple but striking cards. You don't really need to add much at all to this design to have some beautiful cards made in double quick time.  And that's an idea I like!

This was a bit of an experiment as I'd found some semi-gloss cardstock and wondered how well it would foil.  The answer was "beautifully" and it looks even better in real life!  The colour is a lovely pale turquoise and the silver foil that comes with the Club kit was absolutely perfect with the glossy card and the colour of the card

I added a die cut silver glitter snowflake from last year's Layering Snowflakes set by Simon Hurley, but with hindsight it didn't need it and might have looked better without


To finish it off I foiled one of the snowy sentiments from the Glimmer set into the same gloss card and added various types and shade of turquoise gems in the centres of the snowflakes
