Joy Snowflake and Perfect Pearls


Hello and welcome!

I had a little time to play in the cave today and I made a card with a few challenges in mind.

I took 3 of the Essentials by Ellen Stitching Lines on the front of a card base, then masked off around them.  I inked them with a collection of Distress Inks and then added blue Perfect Pearls.  I cut the Simon Says Stamp "Joy" die out of white and Tonic Studios Chrome Silver Mirror Card Stock.   I also cut two thin strips to outline the blue section.  I stacked the sentiment up with several layers then added it to the outline die that comes with the set.  Lastly I added a Carta Bella snowflake die cut from Tonic Studios Chrome Silver Mirror Card Stock and added a pretty gem in the center.

Here's a few more views - it's very hard to capture all the shimmer in this card so I took pictures from lots of angles:

    This is stunning, Angie! The stacked and shimmery sediment and the snowflake and borders are dazzling! I love that you added the shimmer of Perfect Pearls to your panel. I just found mine again during my purge, so your inspiring post is very timely for me! Have a super Sunday! Hugs, Darnell

    What a wonderful design, Angie! I love the stitched lines and the beautiful shade and smooth sponged color! The way you've cut the Joy out and placed it back in is striking and the snowflake adds such elegance! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!
