I started off by stamping the large snowflake image randomly over the card stock with embossing powder and then embossing it with the gold tinsel powder. I stamped the same snowflake with navy ink onto a square of white card stock and layered in on a shiny piece of gold paper. I finished everything off with the sentiment embossed with regular gold powder on a strip of vellum so I could overlay it on the snowflake, a bit of stitched navy ribbon and three rhinestone brads.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will hop over to the House blog to see the rest of the DT's creations and then get inky and play along with us. And if you need any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your ENTIRE order coupon code over in my left sidebar.

Very pretty - love the gold tinsel embossing powder, and yes it isn't the powder for delicate areas but for this it is perfect. Love how you mounted your focal image on the gold shiny cs.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour scheme!

ReplyDeleteThe sheen is visible in the enlarged picture, and it's so pretty. I'm always impressed when people make their own "design paper." It really turned out lovely. The entire card is just so understated and calming.
