The Paper Source has packs of metallic cardstock that I've found to be an even better replacement for my SU Brushed Silver. I find this cardstock is even better, and they have plenty of metallic tones to pick from!!! (I bought these in-store)
Anyway, the background is imprinted with the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Swirl die.
I had an existing panel of watercolor cardstock where I had used color burst (the green/blues) that I used the ribbon die on to get the negative space. The actual snowflake ribbon diecuts were made an stuck in a baggie last winter - Using my stash like a BOSS!
Sentiment is from Impression Obsession, die cut twice and offset. TFL!

Way to g on using your stash...I keep saying I a m going to get at that...these make lovely Christmas cards..LOVE the colors together like that and the neat bg with the swirls...like snow swirling around on a wintry day...ohhh don't want to think of winter...TFS..:0)...keep it up...you're good inspiration. Like your idea too of doing a couple the same as you got things out.

These cards are so cool! I especially love the colors... You'll have to let me know the name of the silver cardstock you used so I can add some to my arsenal. Kudos on using stuff from your stash, too! I never would have guessed had you not "confessed."
