Club 2 Riding Hood Snowflakes

Howdy all-welcome back!! Hope you're having a good weekend!! Here is card two from last weekend. You've seen me post several cards already using the Snowflake Soiree set. Here is one more. Maybe my favorite so far!!


Isn't this cool?? Several of my girls thought at first look that it was Designer Paper. Nope-we stamped it!! The card base is Crumb Cake with a Whisper White accent layer behind the Riding Hood Red background. On the background we stamped all the snowflakes from Snowflake Soiree. I like to go largest to smallest, so first: the largest in Craft White, next the 2nd largest in Riding Hood. 3rd largest in Illuminate. Last, the smallest in Cherry Cobbler. Remember the Rule of 3 at least for the largest two flakes. The other two you can kind of just fill in or go over the others until you get a look you're happy with! Blend as little or as much as you'd like!!

After stamping the background, we added some piercing and small pearls on the corner. It sort of gets lost in the background though!! But, it seemed like it needed something else. We used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack again and we did three holes on each side of the corner and set a small pearl in the center.

The Riding Hood Red was then attached to the Whisper White and we knotted a Crumb Cake Taffeta ribbon around. Again, love the way this ribbon lays and how easy it is to tie. Over the ribbon we added a "Merry" that was stamped on Whisper White in Riding Hood an then punched with the Extra Large Punch. Over the Merry, we stamped an Illuminate snowflake before attaching over the ribbon with dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hopefully I've given you some inspiration!!
