Sparkle with Felt Flurries

Here's a quick card I made for today's featured stamper challenge. I based my card on this one in Becca's gallery.

I really liked the layout of the original card, so I kept that pretty much the same. It's the kind of design I'm comfortable doing.

Here, I used a pair of Little Felt Flurries die cut snowflakes as the focal image on my card. I ordered these when they were first available from the SU! Holiday Mini catalog and hadn't used them yet. I based the color scheme for the card on the flurry colors. I used a sparkly brad to hold the flurries together. I found that the paper piercing tool worked well for making a hole to put the brad through without damaging the felt. I layered the snowflake on a shimmery white circle and a Baja Breeze scalloped circle.

I used some Baja Breeze Patterns designer paper for the panel on the left side of the cardfront. I layered it on coordinating cardstock, then attached it to the cardfront. I used kraft as my card base. Instead of embellishing the card with a trio of Dew Drops or something similar in the bottom right corner, I stamped a sentiment from Warm Words instead to finish the card.
