And here is my second card for this challenge. This one was a struggle to make, I'm thankful I persevered. I was inspired by this beautiful macaron: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/77476056060867268/
First I blended the three distress oxide inks over the background, spritzed with water, added some more Broken China here and there and spritzed with water. I added a little Perfect Pearls during this process as well.
I found that I had a Snowflake builder punch from Creative Memories and punched that to be used as a stencil. My white craft inkpad needed re-inking so the first few stencils were quite faint. I stenciled snowflakes randomly here and there and added Wink of Stella. I heat embossed the sentiment (the stamp actually has wording about and below the word Sparkle) and heat embossed a snowflake from the Snow Buddies set.
I wrapped silver cord around, added the Wink of Stella covered sentiment, and popped up the snowflake. The entire front panel is popped up on fun foam.
Now I'm going to look at it and pretend it is much cooler than the triple digits outside! Thanks for looking.

Triple digits, yikes!! I think anything over blood temperature is far too hot. Love the colours in this, especially the hints of purple. Great take on the inspiration.

Very pretty, and a lot of sparkle.

This is so beautiful with the colorful background! I love the cool colors!
I'm with you on these triple digits temps. For me, I knew it would be like this for about 3 months in a row, I sure do miss the coastal fog! But it is so beautiful here! Come September, I will not be a prisoner in my home! Most of the tourists will be gone then, too!
Gorgeousness!! Love all the sparkles and bkg ground color. You are truely being and enabler of lately!! I don't own any of TH new inks and for some reason that name broken china keeps calling to me!! Your so creative some times I wonder how your thinking process works because you come up with a lot of amazing creativity and creation! MMFS.
