Snowflakes of a Different Colour

Wow.  This card was inspired by so many sources.  I've only ever linked up to two or three challenges at most but this time I've got five!  They all played a part in the creation of this card to varying degrees.  So, here are the challenges I'm linking up to:

Festive Fridays-Element challenge, use a snowflake.
Christmas Cards All Year Round-Sparkle And Bling challenge.
Jingle Belles-Stick-y and Sweet, use a sticker challenge
The Play Date Cafe-colour challenge, tangerine, apricot and mint.  Here's the inspiration picture:



Muse-challenge #7. Here's the inspiration card:


I was inspired by the Muse card with the Kraft card base and the stamping in white.  Plus the rounded corner.  I rounded two of my corners though.  Even the apricot colour ties in.  I think it's probably pretty clear how the other challenges inspired this card.  :-)

 
I die cut my snowflakes in the tangerine, apricot and mint and put some glitter on one layer.  I used a foam snowflake sticker on top of the die cuts and added some bling.  I stamped the sentiment and flourishes in white, adhered the snowflakes and then added more bling to the flourishes.  A very untraditional colour combination for a Christmas card but I really like it.

Hope you all enjoyed my card.  Have a fabulous day!

Supplies:  card stock- kraft by Recollections, tangerine and mint by Bazill Basics, apricot by American Crafts (Dear Lizzy Neopolitan collection), white ink by StazOn, sentiment Stamp by Hero Arts (Joy to All set), flourishes by Inkadinkado (dot flourish set), glitter is Dazzling Diamonds by Stampin' Up!,  bling is from the Dollerama.
