Flaky
Ready for a new cue word challenge? CASology has a beautiful one this week! Despite the cold wind and gray sky that a typical snow storm brings with it, there is a beauty to those little flakes that drift down. One of these days I’m going to get a close up photo of one!

| Stamps: Paper Trey, Verve (sentiment) |
I started thinking about the paper snowflakes I used to make as a child. Most of the time, I’d end up with triangles somewhere in the design! Holding that thought, I went searching for triangle images in my stamp stash, remembering Paper Trey has a set full of triangles! I stamped the triangles where the cut out holes would usually appear on a paper snowflake, adding the popped up circular sentiment to the middle. I used silver Encore ink on the triangles and silver Stickles to outline the center circle. And there you have it.
Be sure to go take a look at the inspiration the design team and our guest designer whipped up and leave them a little blog love!

Very pretty LOVE the center!!
What a fun way to make a snowflake – it definitely has the feel of a paper cut out. Love the sparkle, too!
I love your original take on a snowflake card. Such a unique design and I love the silver in the center. Beautiful job.
super clever take on the cue word, Melissa! I think I always ended up with lots of triangles in my paper snowflakes, too!
Love your clever idea! Thanks so much for asking me to play along with this week's challenge!
Clever use of triangle stamps!
Ah HA! Why didn't I think of paper snowflakes?! I used to make a million of them when i was younger, never got tired of it! This is ingenius, Melissa. I adore the silver glitter around the edge of your sentiment, too!
Oh wow, Melissa, this is so clever … gorgeously graphic and a wonderful sparkly centre! Anita 🙂
