We have a special line up of people to help us with inspiration this time.
We each selected someone whom we admire and asked them to join us in providing inspiration to you...so here we go:
Do you see all that shine? That is from the Inka Gold "platinum:.
I took a piece of pink paper (PTI Lovely Lady), scrunched up a piece of saran wrap and dipped it into the Inka Gold and then dabbed it all over the pink card.
I die cut that piece using Memory Box Pine Border die, I then took some PTI Luxe Silver Cardstock and die cut the MB Pine Border Outline.
I decided a little falling snow was in order, so I pulled out SSS Falling Snow stencil and used more of the Inka Gold Platinum!
My sentiment is from PTI Signature Greetings.
The strip of silver to 'ground' everything is an Inkssentials aluminum self adhesive foil tape.
And now for MY Special Guest:
Marcia plays along regularly and I am always in awe of her talent and the beautiful cards she makes. I think you will agree this is no exception. Isn't it stunning?

Edited to add: Both Loll and Bonnie reminded me that I could link this card up to their CAS Mix Up Card Challenge,
so that is what I am doing!!
I stamped my sentiment, I used a stencil for my falling snow and I used a mixed media with Inka Gold. Thank you for reminding me!

Hi Colleen. Your card is GORGEOUS. Inka Gold is one of my favourite products to use, and I LOVE it through your stencil. Adds lots of shine --- so pretty. And LOVE the idea of dabbing it with scrunched cling wrap and pouncing onto card stock --- great idea! Your card is amazing! And it would be perfect for the CAS Mix Up April challenge - Stenciling. Would love for you to join us. :)
And your are very welcome for the watermark and signature file. It looks awesome! And great job sticking with me during the process of getting it uploaded to your photos --- I know it was tricky! xx
Love the inka gold with pink so gorgeous.
Hugs Hester
The pink & gold look great together Colleen and great choice for Guest Designer for our celebration!
Wow! Colleen, this is gorgeous! I love the snowflakes done with the stencil and Inka and how you've used the Inka to dab on the colored cardstock. Two great ideas I'd never thought of! Hope you have a great week! (And your card is perfect for the CAS Mix Up challenge.)
Thanks for linking to CAS Mix Up Colleen!! xx
So glad you brought this over to CAS Mix Up! The gallery is even more awesome!
