I enjoy using the mini slimline size for cards, although I haven't done a lot and I'm still experimenting. All my embossing folders, stencils, and dies are for regular A2 cards, so sometimes I stumble upon new uses. For example, this old SU snowflake EF makes a good background for a mini slimline. (I trimmed some off the right side, and it would just about fill the white layer on the card if left in full, but I waned room for the little snowguy). That snowman stamp is also old SU, from one of the very first sets I ever purchased.
This card became a fun exercise in pulling out all the snow items, what with the giant snowflake sequin, the acrylic dot with a snowflake on it, and the sentiment. The image is colored with pencils, with some Winkk of Stella on the snowflakes the snowman is holding.
(I'm trying to make my photos a little more interesting, so you may spot a couple of German stars behind the card. My sister-in-law makes these by the dozen, and they were the easiest Christmas decor item for me to get my hands on in the storage area.)
This card is for these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday -- Christmas
Jingle Belles -- slimline card
Can You Handle the Pressure -- use an EF (skipping the twist this time)
Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2233 -- anything goes
Word Art Wednesday #557 -- anything goes
