Continuing my push to get Christmas cards finished, I'm still using challenges to inspire me. Today, it's Freshly Made Sketches, although you'll see that I rotated the sketch ninety degrees counter-clockwise.
I used a couple of different manufacturers' snowflake dies (PTI for the larger one and Penny Black for the top layer) for this card, die cutting them from heavy-weight watercolor paper. The background is an iridescent blue vellum matted with navy blue cardstock and glued to an A2 card base. The sentiment was silver heat-embossed on dark blue iridescent card stock and die cut with a tag die from Stampin' Up. The final step was to add a silver stick-on snowflake with rhinestone.
A great idea to rotate the sketch! Love that you combined snowflakes from different companies to create a gorgeous one! Thanks for joining us at FMS!
