I received the Shapeabilities Yuletide Snowflakes in the Charming Christmas Collection by Becca Feeken / Spellbinders and created a colorful snowflake card!

To begin I die cut two or three of each snowflake from smooth white cardstock then I painted over them with my new favorite Pastel Dreams watercolors by Prima. Once the snowflakes finished drying I adhered them with a glue dot to a smooth white cardstock card base, placing adhesive on only the middle or an edge so the snowflakes lift and bend off the card base, creating lots of dimension and shadows.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL7im1hxVEG_p82Q9ni1_aOIYCll5GycZ0mHLL7zGcdIyOOIGcSSdIglgvpgudTJqTlaCj_Gh6E8FQUCuXNqDUw6vAwgnUVfWTpfOPhjMBbJMyHGEfZ58Q1S3ami6LIRreDq9VzEUUrNGB/s640/IMG_20181103_123656.jpg)
For more texture and to help the little pieces of snowflakes around the edges stay in place, I machine stitched with white thread around the border then I trimmed off the excess snowflakes.
To finish I added a Crate Paper fabric button to the center snowflake, cut a "holiday wishes" sentiment sticker in two, and tucked the halves under the button. I hope you like this non-traditional colored holiday card and are inspired to check out the Shapeabilities Yuletide Snowflakes in the Charming Christmas Collection by Becca Feeken / Spellbinders!
