Well....Charlene.....This FS was a challenge for me. Your attention to detail killed me. This card started out as a case of this card Snowflakes for Frances CKM by LilLuvsStampin at Splitcoaststampers which I just love. However, after a few attempts to do the snowflakes the way you did, I went to white embossing them on violet. But I did not have the corner effect punch/paper you had and tried punches I had to mimic the corners and they all came up short.......................so plan B.....let's find another card the images could work on......which brought me to this card FS43 A Cutter's Christmas CKM by LilLuvsStampin at Splitcoaststampers which had similarly sized panels......but I made it into a rectangular card instead of a square card. I kept the elements the same but changed the colors, theme, etc.
I hope you know how much I love your style and that I was honored to case you....even though the case is not my best work........I find the FS to be one of the hardest challenges......guess after 35 years of telling my students not to 'copy' other's work, I find it hard to do the same...........tfs your talents with us.......now I am going to have a cup of coffee and let my tense shoulders relax.........
Enjoy being queen of the day, Charlene.

Gorgeous card. Love the colors and the awesome layers. Thanks for sharing your story of how the card evolved. That happens to so many of us. I also have 35 years of telling my students the same, but casing is so much fun. Great job.

looks god to me but I had to laugh twice! Before clicking on both your links I thought they would send me to THIS card, which I was sure was the one you were using as inspiration. Wrong both times! SC97 Violet Flakes by Rachelhope13 at Splitcoaststampers
