Glitter, Sparkle, and Snow

I've got a card today for two challenges.

Christmas Kickstart : "Glitter, Sparkle, or Shine".

Jingle Belles : "Snow".

Here's my card:


I took two snowflake background stamps and stamped one on each half of my cs.

I die cut the musical phrase and the two word dies out of silver glitter cs and again out of white cs so that I could layer them for more dimension. And I popped up the whole panel on fun foam.

The glitter cs is far more sparkly in real life than in the photo






Supplies:
Stamps - Impression Obsession snowflake background stamps
Ink - Distress Tumbled Glass
Paper - white cs, silver glitter cs
Size - 5.25" square
Accessories - Simon Says Stamp Jingle Snowflake, Winter, and Snow dies, fun foam

    I love all your sparkle on this card. It's so festive! I'll definitely need to get some of that glitter paper for Christmas cards. Love the beautifully stamped background too.
