Elegant Pines Snowflakes for Slimline Sunday

Welcome to another edition of Slimline Sunday where my design focus is around creating 91/4” x 4” cards. Slimline style is perfect for those who want more space to play in their design as well as for cards where you want more room to write personal messages.

My layout was inspires by a card sketch over at Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers challenge #BYSHC61

My colour palette was inspired by CAS colours & sketches challenge #569.  I had intended to try to keep my design CAS but got carried away so am just using the colours! 😂 

Playing with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder, Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP, Gold foil paper, Greetings for You ephemera pack, Secret Sea hand coloured rhinestones, gold bakers twine, a brayer and some fussy cutting of the DSP.

Final product ended up being a great holiday vibe with the warm tones of the Pecan pie plaid background and the dark Secret Sea with hints of Mossy Green. I fussy cut out a snowflake and popped up on a gold foil and whisper white circle and added the twine and rhinestones for some more pops of texture and bling. Finished off from an ephemera sentiment. 

This DSP is SO pretty and great not only for holiday projects but winter birthdays and scrapbook layouts - the photos don’t pick up the tiny details in the designs. I love the Evergreen Pine snowflakes just so unique.

Happy Stampin’
