Easel card with snow flakes!

Hi all, welcome to a new Friday Mashup challenge, this week we are asking you to create something just a little different.

 So here is the "Mashup" Challenge :
  1. Make a project featuring "Snowflakes".
  2. Or Make an "Easel Card".  
  3. Or "Mash it Up" and create an "Easel Card featuring Snowflakes".
*For Directions on how to make an Easel Card Click Here *



I've gone for the mashup this week and dragged out snowflakes from the Snow Swirled stamp set, one of my alltime favourite Stampin' Up! sets.  I have to say I was in my 40s before I actually saw real snow and it was quite magical!  Living in the tropics, we don't get much snow up this way...LOL

I've also used non traditional colours for a Christmas card and use the new Island Indigo and Perfect Plum with Whisper White, Silver metallic CS and silver embossing powder.  I love this combination together.



Here's the card closed (above), yes it does open from the left instead of the right!  and below, the card opened I have added some tiny rhinestones that I had in my stash, they have that ab coating and have a purpleish glow in certain light.  They are my tree decorations along with some clear rhinestones.

I really love the way this card came together.  In the final pic below you can see the silver embossed snowflakes more clearly
