TLC596 this week's technique is to make a bordered sentiment.
CAS387 this week is to make a Christmas card.
I combined the two for this quiet, simple, not typical Christmas card. First I stamped the sentiment from Warm Words. There is a stamp in that set that says "Be Merry" but "Sparkle" seemed more appropriate on this card. Then I drew my lines for the sentiment border, protected that area with a post-it note, and stamped various of the wonderful snowflakes from the Lace Snowflakes set above and below. The sentiment seemed a little bare so I stamped the smallest snowflake from the Snow Buddies set on either side of it. I then went over all of those snowflakes with two way glue pen and covered them in Dazzling Diamonds for wonderful sparkle.
A fun technique. I like the card and think it isn't a typical Christmas card. Thanks for looking!

Sparkle certainly is the right sentiment here, with that beautiful cascade of sparkling snowflakes. You nailed both challenges perfectly here. I really like the two little flakes in the bordered sentiment panel.
