This was fun and I'm reasonably happy with the results. I only used two colors in the Bag It technique. I randomly stamped the snowflake, because it didn't really show up using just the technique. While it was still damp, I dry embossed. I heat embossed using a circles stencil with Versamark and Pearl Embossing powder (which I couldn't get to show in the photo). Die cut it, matted, added MB Poppy and SS Love You, placed on glossy cardstock.

Gosh Priscilla, this is wonderful - I read your 'how to' and found myself going off and learning more about it. I fancy having a go - so watch this space! I love all the interest you have created in the centre of the panel - amazing! Your die cuts are the icing on your cake!

This is beautiful - into my favourites. I love the use of the diecut for your main layer. I too found my leaves didn't give a good impression just using them stamped on my bag - but I didn't bother stamping them again. Your snowflakes look so dainty and delicate.
The kitchen would have been a good idea for me - but taking too many supplies down the attic ladder is usually more bother than cleaning up. Apart from accidents like today, LOL.

The two color background create a nice even pattern which work well for the white die cut Poppy and sentiment. Thanks for playing with the challenge this week for MIX59!

You made a beauty with these two colors and I love the snowflake and the poppy. This is so much fun, isn't it?

WOW! That background is a feast for the eyes and I like that you used two complimentary colors! That white poppy really pops on that background! What a gorgeous frame too!
