Snowflake Joy

I mentioned yesterday on my blog post that I love using non-traditional colors on Snowflake cards.  Yes, I did the same thing today!

I started by die cutting the Geometric Flakes Cover Plate out of white cardstock.   I attached it to a white cardstock base.  

The large snowflake was die cut with the beautiful Delicate Snowflake die.  I blended Flirty Fuchsia & All that Jazz ink onto Premium White Cardstock with a foam blender to color the snowflake.  I took a piece of vellum, cut down to size, and stamped the gorgeous "Joy" sentiment from the Peaceful Flakes stamp set first dipped into VersaMark ink and then stamped in Flirty Fuchsia ink.  The VersaMark keeps the ink wet longer so it is even easier to emboss with.  I then embossed the "Joy" with Wanderlust Embossing Powder.

Love You

For this last card I went with a different color scheme based on one of the patterned papers in the new Smitten Patterned Paper pack.

For this card I first made my frame.  I used the scalloped border in the Tags, Etc die set to cut the patterned paper from the Smitten Patterned Paper pack.  I also cut the frame with one of the stitched rectangles in the Postage Stamps die set. I stamped the fun floating hearts image from the Say it With Love stamp set in Peppermint Scrub, Rose Petals & Juniper Mist. 

The sentiment (isn't that a fun font?) is also stamped with Juniper Mist and then embossed with Wanderlust Embossing Powder.  I added some Inspiration Point Sequins to the card front to finish it off.
