A big congrats to Cindy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS861)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the Love part & the layout, but I made mine a Christmas theme, used snowflakes & different colors.
For my silvery snowflake card, I wanted it to be really shiny so I glued a heavy weight aluminum foil to card stock then die cut it twice: first w/ a mini slimline then w/ a piercing die of flowers & swirls. It looks terrific in person, but it's so hard to photograph. I also die cut some snowflakes & the Love out of the same foiled cardstock. The flowers & leaves were die cut out of 3 shades of blue & silver snowflakes attached on top. The greeting says "Peace. Love. Joy" but I replaced the Love word w/ the die cut version.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ more pics: The Write Stuff

I can only image how beautiful and shiny this looks IRL as the sheen even comes through on the computer screen. Love that you used aluminum foil to create this gem. The pierced snowflakes against the blue/white dp base look fabulous together and you tied it all together so well with the blue flowers. Gorgeous card.

Julie, this is such a great case of Cindy's inspiration card. The silver layer you created with foil is amazing. I love how you add texture with the pierced cover. The dark snowflake paper really highlights the silver and I love how you created flowers with snowflakes. Gorgeous!
