I did some shaving cream/acrylic paint marbling awhile back and used a piece of glossy cardstock from that session and Diemond Dies Snowflake 1 to cut three flakes which I clustered together atop a BG heat embossed in white with a snowflake from Artemio. Added a white heat embossed Klartext Gluckwunsch sentiment too. Then the sequin strand and voila!
I chose my marbled specimen based on the colors at Rubber Dance January challenge. Perfect for wintery cards, don't you think?
So with lots of marbled loveliness still left, I pulled out Kesi Art Snowflakes and die cut one marbled and one gold large specimen. And made this.
Created my cardbase by randomly stamping with Winnie and Walter Sentimental Winter, then applying embossing paste through Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow stencil and sprinkling gold glitter on some of the snow while it was still wet. Then I splattered with blue watercolor. See that sparkly gold snow gently falling? Such fun.
And, since there was still a wee bit of the marbled CS left... I made a card for my friend's hubby's January birthday.
Used Studio Calico Wonky Hearts Wedding to die cut hearts from a white panel. Dry embossed it with a woodgrain embossing folder. Adhered a few of the white hearts to the panel, some marbled snippets to a blue cardbase and then adhered the panel with foam adhesive.
I used the last tidbits of the marbled CS and fun foam and Memory Box Parker Alphabet to cut "happy". Completed my sentiment with a heat embossed Winnie and Walter Winter Wonderland "birthday". Completed the card, balanced it out a bit, with two bits of washi on the front panel. Don't you love how the woodgrain and marbling make a nice pairing?
I'm taking these cards to The Heart Desires #8 too, inspired by those snowflakes on the cake and the wintery branches.
Cuz I used acrylic paints for marbling I'm joining CAS Mix Up for January.
I used new products (Klartext Gluckwunsch, WW Sentimental Winter and Studio Calico hearts die) so I'm hooking up at Danipeuss #034 - Alles neu too.
And the last two cards are going to Winnie and Walter Gossip Column - Marble
Hope you enjoyed this lineup. Have a great weekend!

Maria, All three of your cards made from your marbling pieces turned out beautifully. Your designs are so pretty and creative. TFS and joining us at CAS Mix UP. Hugs....
Wow...these are breathtaking! So beautiful Maria. Love your sweet cards.
Gorgeous cards!! Love the marble technique, must try that again soon. Thanks for the inspiration and for joining our January challenge at Rubber Dance ♥
It's funny-- I came over to your blog to look at a card that caught my eye the other day and see what stamp set you used, and what do I find--this awesome post!! You know one thing (of many things) that rocks about you (beyond your amazing, inspiring designs)? You give shout outs and credit-- maybe it's our teacher-ly, writerly backgrounds that emphasize citations, but I find it's a rare thing... so thank you! I've been making a bunch of the strands because it's a good way to think, to while away time when I'm too tired to put together a piece, and ultimately as a way to use up the billions of sequins and bead-things. Plus they just look so cool, right?! Your cards are total gems-- but I can't stop looking at that Snowflake one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad you are contributing to the THD challenge. Thanks again friend!
Wonderful cards! They are super elegant! Love them. Thanks for joining us at the Rubber Dance challenge. Hugs, Susanne.
