I made a full set of these for my April Christmas Card set. I really wanted to work with SU's Illuminate pad, and thought it would work as a subtle snowy background to Dasher. I wanted to copy the teal and grey colors I used on a Dasher last year, and a layout I used on Dasher earlier this year. I was working at night, and thought that the illuminate watermark would show up better in daylight, so I made 10 cards like this. Unfortunately, the illuminate didn't look any better in better light. The end result just looks terrible. The shimmery snowflakes are really hard to see against the dark gray background, even though the illuminate is usually best against darker cardstocks. These are getting scrapped and I'll see if I can extract my embossed dashers for something else

Very frustrating, but I know you'll be able to re-use the Dasher images. So hard to know for sure when you work at night--I have had big surprises in the morning requiring re-do, so I can sympathize.
