Well - we've had two snowstorms in two days - so I guess I'm really over dosing on snowflakes - so, of course - I made a card for the Curtain Call - Sweet Snowflakes. These snowflakes are much prettier than the ones that fell on my driveway that I had to shovel away!
I used Mona Pendleton's beautiful Sophisticated Snowflakes from MFT - clear embossing them on white card stock. Then I sponged over the panel with Tumbled Glass and Victorian Velvet Ranger Distress Inks.
I added enamel dots to the centers of 3 of the snowflakes and layered the panel on my card base with foam dots.
I haven't put a sentiment on this card and may just put one on the inside when I decide what event I will need it for!
Stamps: Sophisticated Snowflakes - MFT
Paper: white - PTI
Ink: Ranger Distress Tumbled Glass and Victorian Velvet, Versamark
Accessories: clear embossing powder, heat gun, blending tool - Ranger, enamel dots - My Minds Eye, foam dots.
