This is another card I wish y'all could see IRL (except it would be a lot easier to spot my "oops").
I started with a piece of shimmer white cs and started sponging Distress inks. If you haven't tried this, you should - it's amazing how it looks on the shimmer paper. I left a lighter area in the middle to serve as a highlight to the poinsettia. It was stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with gold ep.
I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers, which worked out only so-so, since they couldn't really get into the paper to blend well. I used iridescent medium for the snow; it's almost too thin, but it worked out okay.
I adhered the image the card base with Sookwang tape and cut the frame twice from red foil cs, stacking it for dimension and to disguise the bumps of the snow. The sentiment was cut from the same cs and adhered with spray adhesive.
As always, thanks for looking!

You are on a roll with your cards there! WOW, love the shimmer on this one! I never think to emboss my image in anything but black. That gold is so beautiful and love the coloring on these which you didn't sound too happy about! I also love how you added the lighting on your background!
