Snowflake Season - Freshly Made Sketches #103
Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 8:57 PM This sketch by the crew over at Freshly Made Sketches has me humming Christmas carols again with this sketch...
But this time I am "Dreaming of a White Christmas"...
Because as long as I live in Southern California, dreaming of a white Christmas is all I can do!
I digress...
This turned out to be a fun and fairly easy card to put together. I embossed the greeting in Smoky Slate to give it some dimension. I stamped the snowflake in Smoky Slate and then again with Versamark so I could emobss it with Clear embossing powder mixed with just a touch of Dazzling Diamonds for some shimmer.
A bit of the Silver 1/8" Ribbon and a Frosted Finishes Embellishment from the Holiday Catalog are the perfect shimmery finishing touches! I can't quite capture the sparkle of these embellishments, trust me, they are just fabulous...and the paper...well, I love paper but this particular one is just soooo pretty!
Are you humming Christmas carols yet? Lol. Thanks so much for stopping by!
