I love the look of today's technique challenge. I don't have any embossing machine other than texture plates and an embossing stylus. I achieved the same look by just not embossing ( by hand) the oval where my sentiment was. After I had embossed my card. I used my brayer to go over the embossing with light turquoise ink to make the embossing really pop. I added glittered punched snowflakes. My little snowman was from a snowman image swap that I did last year. Isn't he a cutie? He is up on dimensionals and has an outline of glitter.

MariLynn, I knew that not having an embossing machine wouldn't stop you from doing this challenge! You have achieved the same look. Love the way you inked your snowflakes. Very cute!

I did pretty much the same as you - I could at least emboss my Nestabilities blossom. You did great, this is a gorgeous card. I knew you'd come through on this one.
