Blue Snowflakes

This wintery card is 4 1/4"x5 1/2." I used a pre-made shimmery white card, by DCWV, for the card base. I then cut some blue snowflake patterned cardstock at 4"x5 1/4." The snowflake cardstock is from the Winter Magic Stack by DCWV. I cut some shimmery white cardstock at 4 1/4"x3" and then used a Martha Stewart border punch along the right edge. The snowflakes are from A Child's Year. The two dark blue ones are cut at 1 3/4" and the light blue one is 2 1/4." I adhered the two smaller ones to the card then covered them in dark blue Stickles. The larger one is adhered with pop-dots and I added some clear bling to the ends of the snowflake. I finished off the card with some dark blue bling in the corners of the shimmery white piece. A nice and simple one, but perfect for the current weather. We finally got our snow here in central Minnesota. We didn't have anything for Christmas, but now we do...now when I want it to start going away! Oh well, what can you do?

I made this card for the following challenges:
