Beautiful Blizzard Card in Smoky Slate

Here is a fun and sparkling card using products from the Stampin'Up! Holiday catalog. This was just one of the great cards at the October Stamp Camp.  There were 8 wonderful cards to make, plus treats, raffle baskets and a great lunch was provided.  

The Beautiful Blizzard card features:
Beautiful Blizzard stamp set (available in Wood or Clear Mount)
     (there's a bundle of the stamps & dies, save 10% Beautiful Blizzard Bundle in Wood or Clear Mount)
Tin Tile Dynamic Embossing Folder (this folder is amazing!)


I've listed directions below on how to make this card.  Score at 2-1/8" and 4-1/4" for this fun fold.  
Here's how the card looks out of the envelope, and below is how it folds out.   

There is shimmer on the snowflakes and the front white stamped rectangle that did not photograph well.
The Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint gives a subtle shimmer everywhere you put it.  It's beautiful when it catches the light! I love the shimmer paints!  I was so happy to see Stampin'Up! brought them back for this holiday catalog.  I was a fan of them the first time I used them, sad when they went away and so happy to see them come back!  In the past I have used Shimmer Paint in our Stampin' Spritzer, mixed with 70% alcohol to give a beautiful shimmer all over the surface.  But this time I used Sponge Daubers, sponged it directly onto some of my stamps and stamped on the Whisper White rectangle to add shimmer paint to select areas.
