For today I am playing along with The Male Room, Freshly Made Sketches and, for the first time, the Rainbow Card Challenge. I have attached a ton of pictures for this post because I wanted to catch its texture, glitter, shine, and the layers that went into this card. So, here is my card for today, enjoy!
PS. My screen is showing tints of blue around the banner. There is no blue anywhere on this card. I think the computer editing software was picking up the gray on the banner.

| Holy moly texture! I was inspired by a pin on Pinterest that used vellum for snowflakes. There were a lot of snowflakes on top then cascaded down to the bottom progressing to very little snow. I thought it was beautiful and tried to CASE it. The pinner only used vellum for the snow but I decided to go all out with the texture. I added foam dots on top of a circle cutting plate that sits on top of a polka-dotted background. |

| The snowflake detail is just wonderful for this card. I adhered white cardstock on foam and then diecut the intricate framed snowflake. I think, however, the sentiment steals the show. 'Warm xoxo' is, at least in my mind, very romantic. I can envision a cold snowy night sitting warm and comfy with your significant other hugging and kissing and well... You can fill in the blanks. I thought it would make for an unconventional Valentine's Day card. |

| Above: This shot shows the luster that comes into play. The flatness of the vellum to the glitter on the 'xoxo' shadow it all blends in nicely for this monochromatic card. Left/Below: As mentioned above I added lots of snow to the top of the card as you get closer to the bottom you see only random flakes. Reminiscent of the ombre effect. Right/Bottom: This gives you a good shot of the 'xoxo' sentiment. I diecut it twice, leaving one aside while the other one got some glitter treatment. The white piece was then placed on top and shifted a bit to expose its glittery shadow. |
