My first card features a gorgeous stencil from sponsor A Colorful Life Designs called Baroque Swirl Snowflake.

I decided to try my hand at ink blending a stenciled design on patterned paper, and thought that Gina K's Powder Blue and In the Navy inks went perfectly with this pretty blue plaid paper from Lawn Fawn.  

A snowflake this size really needs to be showcased on a square card, IMO, so I used the 5x5 Card Die Layers from My Creative Time to die cut the scalloped square layer and the zigzag stitched layer. The sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp and Honey Bee Stamps Warm Wishes collab set from 2022, heat embossed in a combination of Ranger's Navy and Bridal Tinsel embossing powders. The snowflake got spritzed with some Perfect Pearls mixed with water before I removed the stencil for some subtle shimmer.  The layers are all adhered to a gorgeous navy glitter cardstock from Recollections called Night Sky.

I think it turned out stunning, if I do say so myself. 😍 

Alrighty, friends, it's time for you to join in the fun for a chance to win a great prize from one of our sponsors, AND you'll be building up your stash of Christmas/holiday cards!
