I have a love/hate relationship with my White Gel pen. I love the look, but mine doesn't work well. At all. I had an idea of what I wanted this to look like, but I just couldn't get my pen to cooperate! I wanted to add a dot of white to all of the dots in the stamp, but it didn't work out very well. Oh well - it was a good idea at least.
Card base is Cryogen White (similar to shimmer white). I then embossed the smallest snowflake from this set with a sparkle EP in the background. I love all the shimmer!!

Love your card and the sparkle Barb. Try the Inkssential gel pen, it is awesome and I no longer have the problems of my pen not working when I need it.

It looks beautiful to me, Barb! I love the contrast of the rich deep purple and the sparkly white!
I have trouble making the dots look consistent w/ my gelpen sometimes. Don't know if it is user error or just faulty ink flow. Sometimes I think it would just be easier to grab the acrylic paint and a skinny paint brush tip (not the brush end!).
