JeanneÂ’s challenge is to create with snow and tool distress on the card.
-After embossing with the Cuttlebug folder I rubbed the Brilliance Moonlight White over the panel. Masked off the upper portion of the panel and rubbed the VersaMark pad over the exposed cardstock and heat embossed with glittered powder to create the snow. Using a VersaMark pen I dotted the snowflakes in the sky and also heat embossed.
-The cuttlebug snowflake and star were attached with Diamond Glaze.
-The bottom cut was made with the Sizzix/Stampin Up die – Top Note and the idea to use it this way came from an Archiver’s ad.
-The snowflakes were randomly stamped on the brown leather textured cardstock.
-Tool distressing was done with a paper perforator, ink distressing with a regular sponge.
-The insert was randomly stamped like the envelope.

Rox this is fabulous. Love the way you used the top note die. Unfortunetly the gallery doesn't do this card justice you have to see the full effect. Love it.
