I did die cut quite a few snowflakes before I went away, so they were just waiting to be layered up and all I needed was the background. This background has been lying around for quite a while and the swirls were already brushed with silver paint, so I used a mica spray to add some shimmer before using a silver mirri base card and then added the snowflake which was silver - white glitter card and then a lovely pale blue glitter card, unfortunately the colours just don't show.
It's a start, just need to find some more backgrounds for the stack of die cut snowflakes!
I am going to enter this at Allsorts where the theme this week is Snowmen/and or Snowflakes.
Thanks for calling in,
