The most beautiful snowflake

I know I said no more Christmas cards for a while, but I had a little order come this week! It included a stamp set from the Autumn/Winter Catalogue 'Beautiful Blizzard' and a new set of dies 'Snowfall Thinlits' which will be available for you to order for a limited time 1st - 30th November.

I have no idea why I held back on ordering Beautiful Blizzard because it is stunning. I love the abstract background stamps, especially the little wisps of wind - or at least I think that's what they are.

The font of the text stamps manages to be both playful and really classy (clever Stamping' Up!) depending on what colour scheme you go for.

Maybe I held back because I wasn't 100% sold on the die in the bundle, lovely as it is I'm not so keen on single sheet dies with multiple cut outs. However when I saw the limited time Snowfall Thinlits I knew I had to have them.

When I started this card I had in mind that I would use some dsp from the Joyous Noel series so chose Merry Merlot, Sahara Sand and Copper as my colours, but as it came together I realised no dsp was needed.


The background is stamped in Sahara Sand and Soft Suede with Merry Merlot used for the sentiment. The Sahara Sand and Merry Merlot layers of the snowflake have been 'daubed' with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint. Finally the main image layer has had the edge softened with Sahara Sand applied with a dauber.
Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint adds real
sparkle to the Sahara Sand and Merry Merlot layers.

I love this card and all the products used, I hope you do too. Don't forget the Snowfall Thinlits will only be available during the month of November, have a look at my 'Order Incentives and Host Codes' post if you are considering placing an order.

Thanks for looking,
