One of my most favorite card designs is the snowflake card. The appearance cannot be beat. You get glitter and dimension, as well as versatility. You are able to make the cards (or other crafts) as simple or complicated as you want.
I am finding that I really like the sleek, clean look of simple white on white. Use a little bit of glitter flakes and it really seems to speak to you.
Another great look with snowflakes is using non-traditional colors. I think it looks great to use the unexpected colors in order to get a particular look. In fact, I find myself rarely using the simple blue and white of old.
Don't be scared to use non-traditional colors. I fought it for years. I just was not going to give in to the "trend". Well, the "trend" stuck around, and as a designer, so did I. Suprisingly, it was a great choice!
Remember....there is no wrong way to craft and create. That is how the world's greatest artist became known, by stepping outside of the box. So even though it might be a bit uncomfortable at first, it is worth the risk. You may just find out that your out-of-the-box creation is well worth while. It will definitely open a lot of new crafting doors for you.
