Merry Monday Dazzling Snowflake

It's Merry Monday time.

Is it me or are the weeks going by faster?


The talented Karen chose our challenge this week.

Isn't that a beautiful inspiration photo?

Edited to add:
After this posted I remembered that I hadn't added that
this card was inspired by a beautiful tag done by Lin last November.
It enabled me to immediately order this stamp and this was my 
first opportunity to use it.
You can see Lin's tag here.
Thanks for the inspiration, Lin!

I used the emboss resist technique on this card,
embossing the beautiful big snowflake with Whisper White Embossing Powder
and sponging around it with Pool Party and Coastal Cabana.  I sponged just a bit of Pretty in Pink on there too for a bit of the extra colors we needed.

 The rhinestones are pink, blue and green.  I'm afraid they don't show up very well.

 Christmas Stampin' All Year Long
has an ANYTHING GOES challenge
this week.

 Thanks for your visit.

 Enjoy!
