Amazing that this card even got done! So much going on here at my house. Got home from work, started this card and had to deal with the power going off three times! I now have no phone lines, all my many clocks are blinking, and DD is moving back home for a few months! So, all my craft supplies that were in her room are now in the garage! Oh yeah, did I mention we leave Sunday for a short vacation? Yikes! So much to do, so many problems to fix.....but by gum I got this card posted!!! Will be my last one for a few days, hopefully I will still be able to comment on all your beautiful cards as I am taking my lap top. Just have to figure out the internet thing at the hotel. So quickly before I lose power again, here's what I did.....
Made my bg by stamping different colored snowflakes on glossy cs, embossing them. Then I did the alcohol technique over them which actually worked. In fact, it is really pretty IRL! Give is a try, you'll like it!
Took a square of white cs, folded it, cut it, making it into a snowflake of old. Dragged the ink pad over it, put silver on the edges then versa marked and eb with the holographic ep.
On the edges of a white card, I stamped the little snowflakes and balls, embossed with clear and white ep.
Put it altogether, added my plastic snowflake bling. Hope you like it!........TFL :0)

This is stellar, Nutmeg! Love the border too. Oh, I remember how the power would go out all the time in Roseville. Well now that DD is returning home for a short while, just think of all the cookies she'll be delivering to you in the garage. Now that's a bonus right there, dont you think? Are you guys going to Co? Good a gorgeous card from Sput today. Geez, you gotta talk to her: she makes fabulous cards! Tell her to buck up little camper and get back to the drawing board. I was going to respond to your pm from last week, but I'd better wait until your return since it sounds like you're under the gun over there in CH! Safe travels. Catch ya on your return.
