This was the last Christmas card I made for the season, and I used the Collage Merry Christmas stamp from Hero Arts. I've stamped then heat embossed with gold embossing powder, then further dressed it up with distress ink.
The papers are from the MME Lost & Found Christmas collection, and I've added various gold accents with peel-off borders and stars, metallic pen and pearls. The die cut snowflake also has some gold accents along with a glitter filled centre. Lots of sparkle and shine!
Take care everyone, and if you could shoo some warm breezes this way, it would be much appreciated! I'm heading to the stores shortly, to buy more salt. I have to be prepared, but it sure would be nice if it wasn't needed! (Update - no salt is available for purchase!!!) Thanks again for visiting.

Wow Joyce this is another of your stunning cards so beautifully presented too! x
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Joyce. Hope it heats up for you soon. We have been having milder weather in the UK, but verrrrry wet. Don't know if it is due to last but I hope it does. Its the first winter ever that I have poppies in the garden in January. I still have some sad little roses on the bush and we have daisies in the sodden grass, a very strange winter.

What a beautiful Christmas card. So glad you shared it with us for the Time 4 Scrap challenge.
ReplyDeleteI was really hoping for a long warming trend but I guess we're out of luck! Instead of using salt, use plain kitty litter. It wouldn't help with melting but helps with the slip fall factor and is not harmful to lawns or paving.
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous and the colors are so pretty! The snowflake is the perfect touch!
This is a lovely card. I love the snowflake and you have done such beautiful work. Thanks for joining us this week for "Snowflakes and Sparkles." Good Luck.

Beautiful card, lovely mix of tones. Thank you for entering our Fussy and Fancy Challenge.
ReplyDeleteHa, ha! I love your idea about climate sharing! That would be ideal! I just shoveled about two feet of snow off my driveway, so I'd be glad to share with someone in Hawaii right about now! Anyway, I did enjoy your write-up and of course, I adore your card! This is such a beautiful blend of colors and the texture you created with the embossing and the ribbon and snowflake is incredible! So many clever elements here and you've put them together in a remarkable way. I'm so glad that you shared your talents with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog!
