It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.  It’s a fun sketch this week.

SPARKLING SNOWFLAKES

I thought the circles on this sketch would be great for snowflakes!  I’m certainly not ready to see them in the air around here, but I love snowflake stamps!  This one came together pretty quickly and would be great for mass producing as well!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pool Party cardstock was embossed with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder and added to the front.
• A 3/4 x 4-3/4 strip of Lost Lagoon cardstock was added to the front.
• The 1-3/4 x 3-3/4 piece of Snowflake Magic Specialty Designer Paper was added on top.
• The snowflakes were stamped with Pool Party Ink for the solid image, then Lost Lagoon detail image on top and punched with the 2″ and 1-1/2″ Circle Punches.  They were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The greeting from Sparkling Snowflakes was stamped with Lost Lagoon Ink on a 3/4 x 2-1/4 piece of Basic White cardstock and the end cut at an angle, then adhered on front.
• A trio of silver Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins were added to the snowflake centers and the background.
