They have fantastic sketches each week and great prizes. Check it out and join us!
I decided to go, once again, for a Christmas card trying to get my 60+ cards done for the holidays. These sketches always get me going a little over the top and I enjoy how it ends up turning out - nothing like I ever expect.
I used the Snow Swirled set again, embossed it in silver, popped it up on dimensionals on top of a snowflake embossing folder mat and adorned it with silver pearls, red and green rhinestones. The green rhinestones were a RAK received from my wonderful friend, Lovely Linda!! I knew these would come in handy!!! I used sparkly silver and sparkly pearl white papers and a silver flower I found in my stash. I made a large snowflake (MS Punch) and small snowflakes (Misc. Punch) from the silver paper and added rhinestones.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and if you have a moment, let me know what you think! Have a fantastic WEEKEND!!!
