Guest Designer at Indigoblu.....for LET IT SNOW

YES... I was asked to be a guest designer at Indigoblu...
as inspiration for their challenge, LET IT SNOW

Being chosen as 1 of the top3, is of course, an inspiration to keep going on my art journey, and enjoy crafting. I have been joining in the Indigoblu challenge lots of times, and always hoped to be chosen, and then suddenly it happens with a card I'm not really happy with,  LOL 
Then the theme was a bit of a struggle... having only flowers, a butterfly and bubbles stamps from Indigoblu... and the theme being LET IT SNOW... I had to put my thinking caps on..
I thought of the saying "snowflakes are the flowers of winter... ", 



I started with a beautiful shimmery scrapbookpaper with lots of white snowflakes on it. 
I sponged it with Distress inks to make the snowflakes pop. 
From a leftover piece I cut a few snowflakes to adhere it to the card later on. 
I chose to keep the flowers not that intense with color, so it became part of the background. 
They were adhered to the card with 3D glue. 
I also added some 'Crystal Ice' ICE Stickles to the centres of the flowers and snowflakes. 
 Pity you can't see all the glamour and bling going on on this card.  


I am entering this in the following challenge:
1. Indigoblu - let it snow.
2. Simon says Stamp - wednesday challenge - bling it on
3. TIOT - winter whites
4. Stampotique designers challenge  - SDC 176 anything goes

  6. Quite fun our 2 cards featured on the same post today, we must have similar taste in stamps! My card was rather OTT on the bling but your is delightfully subtle, with just the right touch of Stickles.
