Mini Snowflake Card

Last Saturday's Splitcoast Stampers Inspiration Challenge is a fun one. It is a website for an artist who makes "ant" sized art. I was mesmerized by all these teeny tiny images and believe I went through her entire site. I picked 5 that I most likely have small enough stamps to replicate and so far have been able to find the time to complete one. The hostess for the challenge directed us to design something cool, so I chose the literal coolest image I could find: a snowflake.

First I wanted to frame my image in some way so I dug through my embossing folders for a small frame. I found a small square Stampin' Up embossing folder. Next, I took the Holtz Mini Snowflake Blueprint and stamped it in the center of this frame using Memento London Fog Ink. I then used B00 and N2, N3 Copic Sketch Markers to give the snowflake a little color. Finally I cut the whole image using the 2nd largest Dual Stitched Lil' Inkers Rectangle and I popped it up on a white A2 base. That's as cool, this time meaning unique and interesting and yet still miniature as I could think to make my mini snowflake:)
