Hi everyone, today I would like to share a fairly CAS (for me) Christmas card,, which brought out to play a gorgeous but much neglected Visible Image grungy snowflake stamp.
I die cut a wavy stitched square of white stamping card, stamped the focal snowflake using Versamark, then heat embossed using WOW Midnight Dream embossing glitter. I stamped spatters from the same stamp set using Arctic VFC, then matted onto a border of dusky blue glitter card (my last piece!). I stamped a Uniko sentiment around all 4 edges of a 6” square card blank, then attached the stamped panel. To finish I added a large sparkly crystal gem to the snowflake centre.
The embossing glitter really is very sparkly - here is an angled picture to show it.
Stamps: Visible Image Let It Snow; Uniko Background Builders - Winter Wonderland;
Media: Versafine Clair (Arctic, Medieval Blue); Versamark; WOW Midnight Dream embossing glitter;
Tools: Craft Addictions UK Wavy Double Stitched square die.

Again I made two of this design. Yesterday was in fact a mega productive day by my standards, as I managed to make 10 Christmas cards in total. This was the only ‘new’ design though - the others were all variations on other cards I have produced over the past month or so. Nonetheless I am finally getting there: not only are all my posted cards done and dusted, but I’ve very nearly finished all my hand delivery cards too - I’m actually further ahead than normal!
Take care, and thanks for visiting.
Hugs,

Hi Pauline,
The card is beautiful. Creating the frame with the sentiment is a unique idea. The bow is wonderful and shiny. The irregular stitching is adorable. I hope to find the die. Thanks for joining us in the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge Tatiana x DT.
