Elegant Pine Snowflakes for Challenge #362 - Bits and Pieces

Where did the time go? The speed challenge is done and it's time for the next sketch challenge at As You See It Challenges. This one was designed by my team mate Jan C. and she's given us a bit more than usual to chew on. It reminds me of the good old days of Mojo Monday sketches, which were often fairly full of shapes and elements! Simple stampers we were not back then! When I look at the results now though, I much prefer the uncluttered look! Anyway, take a look at the sketch we have to work with for this challenge!

I just completed a fundraising crop this weekend and one of the samples I made for a Make & Take used the Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP along with the Delicate Pines stamp set for the sentiment. I thought I could come up with something similar for this sketch.

• There are so many beautiful greens in the Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP. One is Old Olive and I used that for the card base.
• I embossed a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Basic White cardstock with the retired Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and mounted it on the card base.
• I chose two different designs from the DSP patterns and cut the background panels from those. I added those to the card front.
• I added a 3" square piece of Basic White cardstock to the card front as shown.
• Using the Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP in the Garden Green and white design, I die cut 3 different snowflakes, with the Delicate Pines Dies and mounted them on the card front, centering them on the 3" square, as shown.
• I stamped the sentiment from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink and cut the strip and mounted it with dimensionals on the card front.
• I added the Low Profile Sparkle Dots to finish off.
