Welcome to the November, 2024 edition of the Sparkles Christmas Challenge! I’m hosting this month’s challenge and I chose Snowflakes for our theme. When you get finished here, I hope you will visit the challenge site to view the creations from the very talented members of our design team. After you’ve created your own themed card, please don’t forget to upload it to our gallery.

Lost Lagoon is one of my favorite colors, and this monochromatic card turned out beautifully.

Here’s my card:

I used retired Stampin’ Up! products, but love these snowflakes. The snowflake on the front was from a package of white shiny snowflakes. I used my Lost Lagoon ink pad and a blending brush to color the reverse side of the snowflakes. Don’t try to color on the shiny side ~ trust me, it doesn’t work well at all. I added about three layers of clear Wink of Stella on the individual snowflakes. Here’s a couple of close-ups of the difference Wink of Stella made:

The first photo is after the layers of DSP. The right is the snowflake before the Wink of Stella.

Hints:

I made this card at the same time I made and posted the polar bear cards, which you can see in the following gallery:
