Snowflake Easel Card- The Friday Mashup

The challenge this week with the Friday Mashup is to make an easel card with snowflakes on it.






Stamp: Snow Swirled, other stamp non SU
Inks: Pacific Point, Whisper white, Versa Mark
Papers: Pacific Point, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer Paper, Red Glimmer Paper
Accessories: Snowflake die, Snowflake punch, Iridescent Ice Embossing powder, Pearls, 5/8" whisper white organza ribbon, Beautiful wings die, Beautiful wings emboslitt, Eyelet border punch


 
 The above shows the easel card closed.

To make the background, I randomly stamped the various size snowflakes from the Snow Swirled stamp set using Whisper White ink onto Pacific Point card stock.  When the ink was dry, I covered the entire surface with Versa Mark, covered it with Iridescent ice embossing powder and set with the embossing tool.
A butterfly was added because as the challenge said:  " A Snowflake is Winter's Butterfly"

Wow. What a wonderful bold bright card. I am in awe that you covered it all in Iridescent Ice. I have done that many times with small items such as buttons and flowers but never a full project, very nice.

Fantastic! I love the shimmery background and I think its fantastic that you added the butterfly because of the quote. That was very creative!

Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Friday Mashup!
