It must be that you all were as busy as I've been... no submissions this week. My first card is a repeat of one I did for Stamp Club a couple years ago-- it was very popular then, so I decided to re-do it with a new stamp set and some newer ribbon. I tried to tie in the Certainly Celery, but with this card, it just didn't work. *sigh* My next card was much more successful, but the camera didn't want to cooperate. grr! So anyway, here's my "sort of" CC#5 card.
Shimmery Snowflakes
Images © 1990–2008 Stampin’ Up!
Supplies...
Stamp Sets: Snow Swirled
Ink: Lavender Lace Classic Stampin' Pad, Elegant Eggplant Classic Stampin' Pad
Paper: Shimmery White card stock
Accessories: Elegant Eggplant 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Basic Gray taffeta ribbon, mini glue dots, Sponge Dauber, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig.
I made a mask of scrap paper (3/4" margin on the sides, 1" margin on the top and bottom) then used a sponge dauber to ink in the center of the card with Lavender Lace. I then stamped the two large snowflakes in Elegant Eggplant, removed the mask, and stamped two medium snowflakes outside of the sponged-in area. I replaced the mask and filled in the rest of the Lavender Lace rectangle with medium and small snowflakes. Removed the mask again, and then used the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to stamp the greeting. I added another medium snowflake to the inside of the card to carry the theme. Voi-la!
You can kind of see the shimmer of the card stock in the second photo... but even that picture doesn't do this card justice! You have to see it in real life to appreciate it.
I'll be getting new batteries for my camera tomorrow... so that I can take a good picture of that second card. Now to get stamping on this week's color challenge!

Wow! I really love this card! Love how the snowflakes come out of the 'box.' You're right - life is uber out of control. Still trying to find time to do this week's challenge. Your color combinations are great. Please keep them coming - don't give up on us.
