Ready for a little FIRST SNOWFLAKE inspiration today?! Well I hope so ... cause that is the theme for Day 21 of the fun 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge that Martin's Mayhem is putting on! His card is fabulous, as always, and I wanted to share the one I made to play along!
Now if you know me well ... or even just a little ... you probably know I don't really love snow. Haha. I am a warm weather kinda girl. BUT - snow can be really pretty when it first falls up in the mountains. So I kinda went with that theme.
I die-cut two trees from Stampin' Up!'s Peaceful Evergreen Dies in each size in two different colors of green: Lemon Lime Twist & Granny Apple Green. Then I just layered them together. I liked the two colors to give contrast and make them really pop with dimension.
The shimmer to a snowflake/snowfall is the best part to me. When the sun hits ... I LOVE how it is all glittery & shimmery! So to get that shimmer on this card ... I actually painted the embossed background and all the trees with the white Pearlized Enamel Effects. In real life ... it is SOOOO pretty and glistening! Not the easiest to capture in a photo, honestly, but I did my best. 😀
What do you think?! Does this work for a "First Snowflake" Challenge?! What are you going to make for this one?! 😀
