Snowflake Card

I just love how this snowflake card turned out.  It measures 5-1/2 x 5-1/2.  I don't usually make cards this big but this one seemed to work.
Recipe:
~ all Stampin' Up card stock (night of navy, bashful blue, and white)
~ the snowflake is a die cut but I used the wood sheet material by Stampin' Up
~ inked snowflake then added dazzling diamonds also by Stampin' Up to give the sparkle
~ the sentiment is embossed in a Zing color - gun metal
~ large silver brad in the middle of the snowflake

Enjoy, Cheers,
E
