More Split Snowflake Cards

Back with more half snowflake designs : )

 The dusty rose, mint and gray colors were quite a challenge for me. I kept wanting to leave either the rose or green out from whatever I tried. But I finally ended up with both colors on the same card. In an odd way the background snowflake reminded me of holly leaves, so I added the rose circles in the center to be like the holly berries. I have a few December birthdays so this is a subtly-themed, holiday birthday card.

This is similar to my original split snowflake card, but it has more of a chalkboard feel with a chalk border, and white ink smudges. And blue polka dots for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge.

Finally, a glittery snowflake, inspired by the Less Is More challenge to use glitz and glam. I added the vellum layer underneath to help give the snowflake dimension without taking too much away from the glittery layer on top. The silver "path" of the snowflake is run through a hole punched in the fold and taped down inside (love the hexagon pattern on the reverse side).

I had to run out to Michael's for more embossing powder. I don't emboss too often, so when I tried it last night I was surprised to find the powder had yellowed slightly. It's probably 10-15 years old!

Thanks for looking!
