I struggled a bit with this one, every time I thought of a stamp I might use I thought "Hmmm, but that does come in weird colours sometimes". I finally settled on hot pink snowflakes and made my first Christmas card of the year! Silver leafing pen and sequins give it a little festive shine.
It's the first time I've used this die and I have to say that although it's very elegant, I'm not sure I'll be using it much - it was an absolute nightmare to release the wording from the die! I'll try the dryer sheet trick next time and see if that helps.
Stamps:
Grunge Flakes by Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous
Paper: Bristol board
Ink:

Hot pink snowflakes - now wouldn't that be a wonderful sight! Love this card, Jo x
ReplyDeleteLove this, what a great take on the challenge! Xx
ReplyDeleteLove those hot pink snowflakes Joanne - you've inspired me to use coloured snowflakes! Shabneez x
ReplyDeleteSuper looking card - I love colourful snowflakes myself...think I might have done green colours and purple too. As for the die, how about waxed paper? If you would like some just give us a shout with your address and I'll send you some. Cant guarantee it will work but worth a try.
ReplyDeleteI have this die too and it works better if you add a paper shim when cutting it, as I found out last year when Christmas card making x
ReplyDeleteI think the pink works beautifully, Joanne. A really beautiful and striking card
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and such a clever idea. The snowflakes loom so beautiful in pink. X
ReplyDeleteThis is so, sooo cool! And clever. Love, love, loooove it. (And might have to steal the idea. So cool.)
