White on White with Simon Says Stamps

 


It’s a clean slate for a new year!  Simon Says Stamps has a fun Instagram Challenge to use white on white for your design, so today I played with a little snow!  It seems crazy that we had a brown Christmas here!  Unheard of in all the years I can remember, so honestly I would love to have a snow day!  The peacefulness of it and the hush it brings to the world is so special.  

For this design I used numerous snowflake dies that were retired from The Cat’s Pajamas Stamps and layered them over one another with different papers - vellum, cardstock, glitter paper to create a really dimensional flurry of flakes.  


The base layer is a beautiful die from Simon Says Stamps called Pincushion Plate.  It creates a beautiful layer of texture for the snowflakes which works perfectly for a white on white card design.  


I’ve added foam dots between the layers of snowflakes to give more dimension, and a lovely little foiled sentiment from Spellbinders called Must-Have Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil plate and die set.   Done with some sparkly foil it is a perfect touch.  The holeless sequins add another layer of sparkle and die into the holes in the background plate.  Such frosty elegance!
