Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Mary and I will pick a theme for our simple cards.  This month the theme is “Winter” cards!

SNOW CRYSTAL

This is a take-off of my Christmas cards this year!  I made coordinating thank-you cards to send after Christmas.  This one is super simple, but still elegant!  And, as anyone who knows me…I don’t really mean the greeting on here…no snow after Christmas for me!  lol!  But it is a nice winter greeting for today’s theme!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The large Snow Crystal image was inked with Coastal Cabana Ink and stamped partially off the left side.  The smaller Sparkling Snowflakes image were stamped with Pool Party Ink in the background.
  • Some speckle was stamped with White Craft Ink randomly around the background, too.
  • A 1 x 4 strip of Smoky Slate cardstock was stamped with the greeting from Sparkling Snowflakes in Memento Black Ink and added to the front.
  • A white Faceted Gem Trio Pack was added to the center of the large snowflake for a little bling.

 

 

SUPER simple and a nice thank you card!  Would be easy to change out the greeting for a birthday, winter anniversary or even sympathy card!  Check out Mary’s Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!
