Snowflake 5x5" card


Well, as long as I had the Snow wheel out the other day, I thought I'd see what it would look like with gold ink. This time I used vanilla paper, and was going to make a card like the silver one when I remembered seeing a snowflake somewhere using the Martha Steward fern punch. She had used crystal effects on the fern branches and paper snowflakes layering them together. I don't have any snowflake punches so I used the wooden one, a felt snow flurry, and the fern branches. You can't really see from the picture, but it looks really neat! The gold doesn't show well on the photo either, I seem to have a hard time with the silver and gold craft ink photographing nicely. I wish I would have bookmarked the original snowflakes I had seen. She had made alot of them and I really liked them! Hopefully I'll run into her blog again sometime. I have so many under my favorites it's crazy. I love to read blogs!

I'm amazed at how good that fern punch looks for snowflakes! It is so pretty. Your silver and gold cards turned out great! Thanks for sharing more of your beautiful Christmas cards!
