Warm Wishes

One more entry for SSS Flickr Challenge #25--white on white with a splash of color.  I used the framed snowflake included in the SSS Holiday Dies set & cut it from white felt, blue glitter paper & white cardstock.  The felt die cuts are backed with the cardstock to make them a bit firmer to work with. I inlaid the stars from the glitter die cuts & saved the rest for another card.  SSS Falling Snow stencil was used with white embossing paste--don't you love the look?!  I remembered to mask an area for my sentiment which I stamped in Brilliance Starlite Black.  The SSS Warm Wishes set is actually for summer with floral images, but this sentiment is perfect for snowy cards, too.  Finished off with a thin strip of the blue glitter paper.  Fun card to make, lots of texture & it's flat!  I'm also entering the holiday challenge at Addicted to Stamps & the great outdoors challenge at Dies R Us.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

    It is gorgeous!! Love the pops of blue. I thought each snowflake was different until I realized that the die was rotated. Have a great day!

    Okay, NOT to diss the felt ones, they are cool too, but I really like the embossing paste snowflakes on this card. They are integral part of this card... yeah, that's what I'm trying to say!

    I'm nowhere near ready for winter, but when it does arrive, I hope the snowflakes are as beautiful as yours are here, especially with a whisper of blue sparkle! So pretty!
