Hello peeps! Hope you are having a good weekend. I sat and wrote my "special" and "local" cards yesterday and shall try and finish the wrapping today. However, I know that during the coming week I will find more bits and pieces for Martin and the Boys so will have to get the paper, tape and bows out again!!
I had great fun making the card I am sharing today,
I'd forgotten how effective white embossing powder can be!!
Firstly I gathered all my little snowflake stamps together and randomly stamped on to white card with Rhubarb stalk momento ink ( don't look too closely there are a couple of smudges!). The stamp was one of a pair of Penny Black freebies that I got with a magazine subscription and had never used so that had it's first inking. I then heat embossed with detail embossing powder and repeated the process with the sentiment. The gingham ribbon and gems came from my stash.
I am playing along with these snowflakey challenges...
