Frosty Swirl

Photo Details

Poster: susanbri

I love this week's Sketch Challenge as it is a very CAS sketch. And it's ideal for flourishes which I love.

I used my new Memory Box Frosty Border die and a few punched snowflakes. I want to thank whoever it was on a SCS forum who suggested putting wax paper between the cardstock and an intricate die like this one - what a difference it makes in getting the die to release from the cardstock!

I used a shimmery mid-blue cardbase and shimmery white for the dies, etc. And a few gemstones to dress it up.

Nice job with the layout, I like the blue background and how well that white stand out on it.
