Christmas (or not) BINGO challenge - GDT card

Happy Saturday friends and welcome to November.  I'm not really sure what happened to October but I hope you're ready for a brand new month.  I'm here this morning to share my card as GDT for The Christmas (or not) BINGO challenge. I was lucky enough to win one of their recent challenges and was honoured to be asked to be a guest designer. The challenge is an awesome BINGO board but you can only choose one vertical line to follow and use at least 3 of the options.  I chose to use Line I for my card (winter, icy blue or lavender, free, aperture or frame and snowflakes) and actually fulfilled all the criteria - go me!!

Here is the BINGO board for this challenge:

I chose to use icy blue for my colours as I really like blue for Christmas cards especially paired with snowflakes and my card is 5" x 7" in size.  Most of the elements are layered up so there is quite a lot of dimension on this card.  I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I took an extra close up photo to try and capture the sparkle gel in the background:

I began by die cutting each snowflake 4 times from white card as well as the frame 4 times and adhered them together with liquid glue.   I used the mat layer die to cut a panel from light blue card and covered it in starlight sparkle gel and put it aside to dry.  I made my card base from white card cut to 10" x 7" and scored it at 5" along the longer side.  I stamped the sentiment in blue ink and used the coordinating die to cut it out.  I adhered the frame onto the blue layer using double sided tape and the added the snowflakes with liquid glue.  I adhered the sentiment in the left bottom corner and finished off with some clear solid sequins.  It was difficult to capture there sparkle gel but it looks so pretty in real life.  For the inside I cut a white panel using a stitched rectangle die and a blue mat layer and adhered them together with double sided tape.  I stamped the sentiment in blue ink and die cut a snowflake from blue card and adhered that in the bottom right corner.  The panel was adhered to the card base with double sided tape.  I'm really happy with how this card turned out.
