It's really hard to get a decent picture of sparkle and shine!
This is the best I could do.
I found this piece of Inka Gold Smoosh in my background basket
and die cut this gorgeous snowflake ribbon and the sentiment
from some Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.
The center of the snowflake is punched from a snippet of silver Glimmer paper
with a punch from my stash.
Flat for mailing which is a bonus!

I think this snowflake is silent. It's been sitting on my desk for a few days
and I haven't heard anything.
And since the Inka Gold requires water to smoosh, I'm sharing this in the gallery at
Challenge closes on the 24th.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Bonnie - just love the background and the glittery snowflake ribbon!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful smooshed background, just LOVE the flow and mouvement! Your snowflake ❄️ is happy and singing, I hear it xx
ReplyDeleteWOW that background adds such interest Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card! Inka Smoosh made me just laugh. I half expected a Swedish guest on your blog.
ReplyDeleteThe colours of your inka gold background are GORGEOUS! Love it paired with the beautiful snowflake flourish. xx
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie this is stunning - I must go and play with my inka's and try smooshing them... thanks for the inspiration
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Maxine\p.s. so glad the snowflake did not try talking to you - it could have been rather un-nerving :-)
Background reminds me of a winter evening sky! Magnificent!! White ons even more emphasize the dramatic backgrounds

Oh this is beautiful Bonnie. I love the background and the snowflake ribbon stands out on it.
ReplyDeleteI love the smooshing, Bonnie. I have a similar one waiting in my box that I did with Brushos and plastic wrap. I'll find a place for it someday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Bonnie. Love that background and know how much this card shines.

Lovely shades of blue and green for the background - a good strong contrast for the snowflake ribbon. With the glimmer paper and the inka gold, it must be wonderfully sparkly!
ReplyDeleteYour background is stunning, Bonnie! And paired with the beautiful, sparkly snowflake makes for a fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Inka Gold smooshed background for your pretty glittery snowflake swoosh. I love your idea to punch a snowflake center out of the glittery paper for easy mailing. TFS Bonnie. Hugs...
ReplyDeleteWOW!! What an amazing background piece you created Bonnie! Just stunning, and that pretty sparkling snowflake just pops against it!! LOVE it! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Hazel xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful background, Bonnie. I tried the Inka gold but mine was dried up even though it seems I just replaced it! Love the placement of the panel on the card. What a great way to use a background that is not quite wide enough. Gorgeous die too!
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking background to display this glimmering (and silent!) snowflake. So very elegant, but the richness & depth of the background color swirls set the pretty snowflake off to perfection. TFS & Hugs (hope you're not floating away with the rains)
ReplyDeleteThat background has so much depth! I'm sure its shimmery-ness is quite breathtaking in person.
ReplyDeletewhat an amazing colour you created with the inka gold, just love the blue and the gold giving a beautiful green hue. It really makes the snowflake pop.
ReplyDeleteI just love this Bonnie....you may have pushed me to the edge to buy this die.
ReplyDeletehugs,

What a stunning card indeed Bonnie! I love that background, so pretty are the colors in it. The die you used for your snowflake is gorgeous in the DD glitter paper, love, love, love! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteHello Bonnie....you really are amazing. Love the use of that die and the colors. Thanks for your inspirations.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I can see that sparkle shining through.... Love the swirly background!
