Penny Black Snowflakes & PFS Hello

I've had this card in mind ever since I saw the Christmas Kickstart White on White theme.  Neutrals & silver/gold are allowed, too.  I white embossed the beautiful Penny Black snowflakes I won a long time ago from Virginia on a Soft Stone panel. 
It's such a classy look, but couldn't get a very good picture.  The sentiment from Avery Elle was embossed with JudiKins Diamond Sparkle--so pretty in real life.  I added a dot of Silver Stickles to each snowflake.  
Think I'll make some one layer cards with this same design & a variety of ink colors for hubby's cousins.  I'm also entering Retro Rubber (snowflakes & sentiment from stamps I've had at least 2 years) & Rudolph Days.
I'm certainly getting a lot of use from my first PFS purchase: Hello with a Bouquet die.  Thought it'd look great with rainbow letters for the PFS September challenge.
I first die cut the Bouquet from white cardstock.  Then I die cut PFS Color Block Stripes from white cardstock & colored 5 of the strips with DO candied apple, spiced marmalade, fossilized amber, peeled paint & faded jeans.  I attached the strips to a scrap of white cardstock & taped it over the letters of the die.  Then I glued the white die cut to a panel of Soft Stone & glued the rainbow letters over the white ones.  Finished off with PPP clear dots.  I'm also entering Virgina's Show & Share & WAW.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.  If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.

  11. Hi Greta,
    Happy Rudolf Days.
    Your card is very lovely and so pretty with all those lovely snoflakes and the fab heat embossed design.
    A great second card also.
    A little tip in case you already didn't know when photographing white on white designs use a darker background such as black.
    Hope you didn't mind my suggesting it.
    Thank you for joining the Rudolf Challenge.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L. DT
