Jolly Retro Flakes

Today I'm playing along with the color challenge at Stamp Ink Paper Challenge.  The other day I was looking through the drawer where I keep my dies (originals, bigz, etc).  I tend to forget them as they are in a drawer.  All of my thinlits and framelits are out where I can see them.  At any rate, a die caught my eye.  It is an older Stampin' Up snowflake die and one of the images is kind of a retro star.  When I saw the bold colors in the challenge, I thought this could be a fun combo.  I cut out a number of the snowflakes in Cucumber Crush and Watermelon Wonder and positioned them on a white panel.  I die cut "Jolly" in black glimmer paper and also created a thin frame with the glimmer paper and mounted everything on a Watermelon Wonder card base.  I felt like something was missing so I cut a few small circles and layered them on top of the centers of the larger snowflakes.



Happy Stamping,
Dana

    GREAT call wit the added circles!!! Definitely adds some interest to the flakes with the large centers! Sweet sentiment - perfect match to the whimsical snowflakes :)

    I just love how your card has subliminal messages...besides the snowflakes, I see olives and my favorite childhood game, JAX. Your card is so lovely. Thank you for joining the color challenge at Stamp Ink Paper this week.
