Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
When I saw the mood board at Peace on Earth, I knew just what I wanted to do.
Then life interrupted that thought.
Life slowed down and fortunately this time the idea worked out.
I die cut this four layer snowflake from some blue glitter paper. The paper is pretty
thin so I had to cut another from white cardstock and glue the glitter cuts on top.
It was tedious but worth the effort.
The background is a piece of packing foam. It has an icy look, I think. that
works perfectly with the snowflake. I added a die cut sentiment cut from silver foil.
I captured the shine in the photo, but it ended up looking white.
Rest assured it's silver and so are some of the little dots.
Challenges:
Peace on Earth - Inspired by the mood board below. Guess which picture.

What a fabulous layered star Bonnie so glittery and pretty, and the background definitely has an icy look to it and the silver die cut 'peace' and blue and silver dots make great embellishments. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue glittery snowflake. Wow, packing foam for a background looks great. Very creative. TFS
ReplyDeleteTop right! And you've used that inspiration beautifully -- I'll bet it's even more gorgeous IRL due to being able to differ the silver sentiment from your ingenious white background!
