Today’s card is for the sketch challenge at Tis the Season. It took me much longer than it should have to put it together. The snowflake is heat embossed with white ink and iridescent ice embossing powder. I think this was snowflake #6 and the powder still didn’t set well. Whoever gets this card may end up sparkling when they open it!
I cut the bottom panels with MFT Blueprints 18 and the snowflake was cut out with a Stitched Circle Stax, also from MFT. I was going to leave the card flat for easier mailing but it looked too plain. I added a strip of rhinestones and several single rhinestones to the card base and the snowflake.
Here is the sketch~
Have a great night!

Love the papers you used and your embossed snowflake looks terrific! The rhinestones were the perfect touch for both the snowflake and the angled edge!!
Thanks for playing along with us at ‘Tis The Season!

Your soft colored Christmas card is just lovely, Kristie! And I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that takes way too long to put a card together! lol Thanks for sharing with us this week at ‘Tis the Season.

I love it. Always nice to see a Christmas card with a more ‘non-traditional’ color palette.
