Hello! It's Wednesday so it must be
Freshly Made Sketches day! This week our hostess is
Linda and since she recently lived through the first snowmageddon of 2019 my card is an homage to her and all those adorable snowflakes she had to shovel. 😂
I have a little trick of adding vellum to a card when I'm stuck on a design element. In this case that horizontal layer needed to be subtle so as not to take away from my sparkly snowflakes. Vellum to the rescue once again! The snowflakes were cut in shimmery white cardstock and some glimmer paper and with the silver cord behind them and the shiny washi tape we've got one super spectacular snowflake card. The sentiment, although usually associated with Christmas, is a nod to the winter storms that tend to plague us through the first quarter of the new year here in the northeastern US.
At
The Paper Players the challenge is a
clean and simple snowy day - and what better than a snowflake or two for that?

Gorgeous as usual! Perfectly done for both Linda's sketch and our PP challenge! Love how the vellum adds a light touch, a wonderful background for that pretty snowflake! The snowmeggedon that was predicted for us never materialized, I was hoping for at least a little bit!!!
Gorjuss card. Love your tips I will totally case this one (giving credits to your original design). Thank you soo much for inspiration. It's snowing today in Slovenia too.
Fabulous card! You have been on a roll, girl! Each week I think "this is my new favorite card from Jen."
Ahhh yes, there were many flakes to shovel! I have to say I like your snowflakes better though. That vellum panel adds to the frostiness of your pretty card!
Jen...Just beautiful!
