25 Days of Christmas - Sparkly Snowflake

Here is a nice wintery card for you today.  It goes with the incredibly cold weather we are having here in Minnesota.

I made a snowflake shaped card.  The snowflake, and all its layers, was cut at 5."  The snowflake shape is from the "Joys of the Season" Cricut cartridge.  It can be found on page 60, and I used the shadow (navy), blackout (light blue), regular (white-coarse glitter), and layer (white-fine glitter) features.  I covered the larger white piece with coarse white glitter and the smaller white piece with crystal fine glitter, both by Martha Stewart.

I adhered the smaller white piece with foam tape for some added dimension.  I added some blue pearls and gems to parts of the snowflake.  I used the tiny metal doilies set from My Craft Spot to cut the scalloped circles and plain white circle.  I also used the "Stampin' Around Christmas" set to stamp the sentiment.  I added a shimmery blue gem to the middle of the sentiment.

I made this for the following challenges:
