Doubled up on todays Featured Stamper and the VSN Cool colors challenges. Inspired by Brandy's Inchy Snowflake: Inchy Snowflake by brandyann9 at Splitcoaststampers
I kept a lot of the same elements: Grid, colors, theme embellishments, bling and a sentiment, yet so different. I sponged on various colors onto the grid stamp, spritzed with water and repeated a few times. The little snowflakes is one large stamp, heat embossed with a lavender pearl powder. Used a snowflake EF on the vintage bulb reflector, and popped on a glitter snowflake. The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and I actually used my Pearl Ex powder (been a long time in the drawer) for that holographic shine. Mounted the WC panel onto a linen panel and then onto the white felt card.

This is beautiful, I think of color combo's as seriously challenging as well ( esp. when you are given just 3 to play with ha ha) I love how that metal glimmers here and that is cool that it accepted the texture as well.

So lovely! Great take on the FS card you chose to CASE. Love the grid background and that dramatic focal image repurposed from the old bulb reflector, so creative!

The layered textures on this piece are striking, especially the way the sponged grid blends those cool tones into such a soft, wintry backdrop. The embossed reflector adds a brilliant metallic contrast, and the glittered snowflake gives the whole design a crisp focal point. The Pearl Ex sentiment is a beautiful touch that ties the shimmer together without overpowering the composition.
