The challenge this week at Merry Monday is "Let It Snow" and Happy Little Stampers April Christmas challenge is "die cuts" and this card will fit both.
I used Memory Box snowflake flurry stencil to emboss a piece of white cs. Then I laid the stencil back over the debossed side and sponged tumbled glass distress ink over the whole piece. The piece was then die cut with a stitched frame, matted with silver metallic cs and popped up with foam tape. Next I took some Tsukinecko frost white ink and daubed it all over the card with a wadded up piece of cling wrap. The snowflake was die cut from vellum and sponged over with the frost white ink. Added a few sparkles from my stash and done!! Decided to leave the sentiment for the inside.
Thanks for stopping by today and love to read your kind comments.
