I was not familiar with Katlyn's beautiful gallery. What a wonderful collection of card creations! I chose this beautiful holiday card to CASE: Holly Wishes by K. Joy at Splitcoaststampers. My finished card is much busier than I had imagined in my mind. I used Darice snowflake Scroll Corners EF, top and bottom. Cut a strip of the navy and ran it through Darice Diagonal Stripe EF to give it some texture (I don't have any navy ribbon). Used Britannia word dies for the sentiment and added some Dazzle jewels. Enjoy your well deserved week in the spotlight, Katlyn!

This is lovely, Priscilla! The embossing is so deep! I just love navy/white winter/Christmas cards.
p.s. I hardly every have the right color of ribbon. So I buy a lot of different white ribbons and color them to match...either w/ a Copic or with an ink pad.

I love how dynamic and energetic these snowflakes look!! Gorgeous paper texture, and lovely rich contrast between the dark, dark blue and the bright white.

What lovely texture (and photography) you have achieved here! It LOOKS frosty and cold! Genius use of the embossed paper strip to emulate a ribbon...beautifully done! Love the blue accents sprinkled around the image...LOVE this!

I love the snowy frosty look to your card!! The jewels are so pretty, and I like the dimension the sentiment adds. Love what you did with the navy paper - I thought it was ribbon until I read the description!! Thanks so very much for sharing!!
