This is one of my ideas for our Christmas cards. I adore the color combo (cased from Jen70: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers ) and the simple design from BelindaKing (not yet in her gallery). This card is also dry embossed. I made a template from some thin cardboard from an old pack of DS paper (it's thicker than what I think they use now), cutting it to the dimensions of the rectangle mask. I haven't got a stylus yet, so used the end of a pen to press it through over the light table. In person you can see the definite effect of the embossing! Hopefully my DH will like it and I'll start whipping out my Christmas cards!

Absolutely love it! I love the effect of the dry embossing and how you sponged it to have it stand out more. I love the how the larger snowflakes go beyond the rectangle. Beautiful card!
