It is time for a new Thursday challenge at Create with Connie & Mary. It seems like it has been a long time – but it has really just been two weeks. I hope you enjoyed the double challenge – the shaped card using the sketch. But now it is time for a new one and this week is a color challenge – Wisteria Wonder, Baja Breeze, Silver Glimmer.
The only think I could think of was snowflakes. So I made some silver glimmer snowflakes and took a card I had made a couple of weeks ago and modified it to fit this color challenge. I originally saw a similar card on Pinterest and then on Heather Summer’s blog.
The card base is Baja Breeze. I cut strips of Whisper White and embossed them with the Snow Flurry embossing folder – and I actually go to use my new Texture Boutique Embosser – which Stampin’ Up! briefly had for sale – but they sold out so quickly – I do hope they get more in so everyone else can buy one too. After they were embossed I cut the ends to turn them into flags and attached them to the card base. I stamped the Christmas Blessings in Wisteria Wonder. I cut snowflakes with the Big Shot and the Silver Glimmer paper. The top one was colored with the Wisteria Wonder Stampin’ Write Marker (I’m not positive that I like that – I think I should have left it silver). I layered all the snowflakes and put the Wisteria Wonder brad through the center and then finally added a bit of Baja Breeze Seam Binding ribbon behind it.
Finally I decided to get my Silver smooch and spray the whole card to give it more glimmer. It really doesn’t look good in the picture – it looks better in person – but I’m just not much of a glimmer girl so maybe I should have done without.
In any case this is my color challenge card for this week.

Love your card!! I love your silver snowflakes and the way you colored the one to be the Wisteria Wonder color! Very clever!! The ribbon backing really sets them off, too! And what a great idea to use the silver smooch. Need to get that out and use it more!
I like how you used the ribbon behind the snowflake…really adds some texture! Pretty card!
I love the crisp, clean design of this card, offset by the silver smooch. Great card!
This is such a pretty Christmas card Monika! Love the spritzing and your glimmery snowflake!
Cute way to fold the ribbon under the snowflake like that. The snowflake is really pretty!
Love the layout…those textured white flags are very pretty. Love the snowflake dies. Great working with you on Create!
