This month's Sparkles Challenge is Snowflakes. I want to thank Joan for this challenge. I hope you have a chance to play along. If you want to see what the design team created, check out our creations
here. My card was inspired by a card I'd seen on Pinterest. Now mind you....my card isn't going to look much like the inspiration card, but I was inspired none the less......and here is the card that inspired me.
Can you see the similarities?
Heather's flowers are grouped beautifully. My snowflakes are randomly placed. I have silver string and Heather has gold. The stripes on the left side of the card are very similar. I don't know how Heather made her stripes. Mine were made by putting silver Colorbox ink on a stripe embossing folder and stamping with it. Heather didn't have a sentiment, but I added Noel a die from Frantic Stamper.
I can only imagine the inside of Heather's card, I see flowers peeking out. I'm sure the inside is as lovely as the outside. Here is mine.
I always try to add elements from the outside of a card into the inside. I repeated the stripes, added snowflakes and another Frantic Stamper Noel die. Of course a sentiment was stamped and this card is finished.
That's it for my May Sparkles Christmas Challenge. I do hope you play along. I'll be checking to see what you create.
Until next time,
Happy May, I hope you find time to create and enjoy Spring. It's been a long wet winter here and I am so looking forward to playing outside.
Hugs,
Mary Mac
