Peaceful Snowflakes

This week at Jingle Belles the prompt is to make a card for friends and family who don't necessarily celebrate Christmas ... could be Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, or just a winter "thinking of you" card.

My go-to theme is usually peace ... something I think everyone can embrace ... often paired with snow, which I find peaceful.  For this card, I used a pre-made dimensional glitter tag I found in the gift wrapping section at Michael's.  There were 12 tags for $2.99, which is significantly cheaper than buyout a dimensional embellishment like this in the crafting section.

And the good news is that there are four different tags in the package, so I could make multiple cards using the same theme.  These are also perfect for the Let it Snow Challenge at Moving Along with the Times.

I combined K&Company's Que Sera Sera papers with some Fiskars shimmer paper (white on one side and the small purple hearts on the other).

The sketch is November's Sketch for You to Try ... and the sentiment is a favorite John Lennon quote from Peddler's Pack.  I stamped it on the white shimmer paper and embossed.  I finished with some opalescent gems that went with all of the color combinations.

Can't wait to see what you create.
