I have been having so much fun with my new Snowflake die cut from Tim Holtz. (Click here for directions on how to use a Sizzix die cut with a Cuddlebug.) Here I have used it with this sketch from Mojo Monday:
I love how Close to My Heart's Yuletide Carol paper combines with black and metallic gold to make non traditional Christmas cards. After cutting and embossing the snowflake I used a brayer to ink it with gold metallic ink from Color Box and then sponged more gold around the edges of it as well as the Colonial White and Black layers. I then sponged just the very edge of the patterned layer with black to ground it. The sentiment from one of my favorite Christmas stamp sets, Snow Flurries (retired), is heart embossed with CTMH's new gold embossing powder. Of course I had to put a sparkle in the center. Have I ever mentioned that I love sparkles?
Thank you for stopping by! Until next time, Hansi
