Silver Snowflakes

Hi and welcome!  Today's card is another Christmas card for the very small stash!  I used the sketch from MFT, the tic-tac-toe from Paper Players (washi, snowflakes, die-cuts), the Anything Goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp and the Anything Christmas Goes challenge at a new-to-me challenge called The Merry Christmas challenge.  And what is fantastic about this challenge is that they post the upcoming challenge schedule, which is perfect for me as I pretty much only have the weekends to stamp and miss so many challenges because I just can't get cards made in time.

I embossed the snowflakes and snow with Liquid Platinum EP onto a piece of Specialty Stamping Paper then sponged various distress inks over the panel.  For the top layer, I took a piece of Tropical Teal cardstock and die-cut the oval from the center, before sponging over the whole panel with Tropical Teal ink to darken and give a suede look. I splattered on some water and some shimmer mist.  I also die-cut an oval from some black cardstock and layered that underneath, offsetting it slightly.  The sentiment is embossed in the same EP and finally I adhered a strip of washi down the right hand side as per the sketch.

Thanks for visiting.
