For VSN challenge to create a card using chalks and soft colors. I stamped the snowflakes in Versamark and rubbed blue chalks on them (not sure what this technique is called). The sentiment is metal (coated aluminum, I guess) -- I got a bag full of Christmas-themed embellies for next to nothing at a Micheal's clearance a few years back and this one added a great accent for this, I think.

Wow what a stunning card, yet a simple layout. Rubbing chalk on Versamark is the only technique I do with chalks. The snowflakes are beautiful. Thanks for playing in my challenge.

The technique is sometimes called poppin' pastels. You have done a wonderful job here! Love your sentiment embellishment and it's placement is perfect opposite of your knot.
