Greetings and here’s hoping the new year is off to a good start for you! I haven’t had a chance to use one of my favorite die sets yet (these layered snowflakes) so I was happy to see there were still some challenges with winter or snowflake themes to join in. I also combined them with some Happy New Year themes!
My card was made by blending some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink on a white card base, and adding some white paint splatters mixed with some very fine glitter. This was inspired by the challenge at CAS Mix Up for January.
I then die cut 2 of the 3 layers from the Glitz snowflake set (Birch Press Designs), one with black glitter paper, and the top with a shimmery white. I heat embossed the sentiment and cut it into 3 separate pieces before adhering it to the card base.
I would like to play along in these additional challenges:
Kat Scrappiness January Challenge – “Winter”
Challenge Up Your Life #131 – “Snowflakes”
Ink {K} Spire_me #439 – Happy New Year
Dies R Us #160 – Happy New Year (used Birch Press Designs dies)
Cut It Up! #216 – “Winter”
That’s such good blending, it is hard to imagine that card started out white and what a good idea to add a bit of glitter to your splatters, I bet the effect is really great in real life. Thanks so much for joining us at CAS Mix Up this month xx
What a wonderful BIG snowflake, Melanie! I love the layers and the splattered snow flurry in the background! Great idea to use a bit of glitter in the splatters! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!

Wow…LOVE your dark splattered background for your layered die cut snowflake. So clever and creative, Melanie. So pleased you joined us at CAS Mix Up. Hugs…Nancy
Your snowflake card is so elegant. I love how you positioned the flake off the side of the card. That makes it look more like it’s falling from the sky.
Thanks for joining us at Cut it Up for our Winter challenge, and Happy New Year!
