Snowflakes are Falling.

I was in poundland last month

and spotted these snowflake window stickers.

Not to put on the windows much to The Doc's relief

but I thought they would look super on cards.

What do you think?

They came 4 in a packet and simply peeled off 

the Acetate sheet they were on. 

I found this christmas card front  not in my stash pile

but in a box of white paper off cuts that I use up 

when stamping out images to colour. 

When I turned the card over I saw this winter scene 

and thought how well it would go with one of the snowflakes.

I simply trimmed the card front down slightly mounted onto 

shimmery white card and then in turn onto a pearlescent silver grey base

made from card stock.  A silver sticker sentiment and some silver

circles left over from another peel off that looked like falling snow

and the card was complete..

Two off the snowflakes were quite large 

so I felt they didn't need much else on the card.

I  layeredthis one up with snippets of white shimmer card

navy pearlescent  and light blue card stock  for the base

which matched the blue stone effects in the snowflake.

They look like gems but are in fact just part of the plastic design.

They look authentic though. 

Camera decided to have a hissy fit and the next two 

cards came out looking a bit pink  to say the least1

This was the other large snowflake which 

I made into a  7.5 x 5.5 card.

I used turquoise card stock  layering up as before

and then  trimmed with silver edging strips and 

left over bits of silver stickers  that  I placed into 

snowflake patterns.  Waste not want not!

silver sentiment sticker to complete.

I found this snippet of a snow scene in my 

used card stash and as it conveniently  matched 

the blue card stock that I had left over decided to 

pop it on the card as well!

The Greetings was cut out using a Britania die

layered up twice and then given a coating of

glossy accents  and when dry glued in place.

4 cards for a pound can't be bad.
