Back to SnowFlakes



I hope everyone enjoyed my little gift idea on the post right below this one.  If you haven't gotten a chance to look, I highly recommend checking it out.  This may be the perfect gift for someone that is always PMS'ing (bitching).......... O don't we all just know "that person", Ya know the one where you say "Good Morning" and they say "Good, what is good about it" and then go on and on about how they are busier than God, blah, blah.............

Whew that was getting too deep for me, better change the subject........ Cards...........

Here is one that I can't decide if I like it or hate it......... Perhaps I should try it in a less bold pink? I wasn't actually expecting this pink to be that bold but then didn't want to scrap the cardstock when in fact this was a second attempt at embossing snowflakes.  Prior to this card, I discovered that you shouldn't stamp your snowflakes with versamark and then use a clear rainbow sparkle embossing powder on a white card base.............Talk about a waste of cardstock......... Doesn't that just erk ya when you do that????

Now embossing snowflakes in silver on white is definitely the way to go..... A wide, silver, satin ribbon would have been so classy.....  The two large snowflakes are from the "Snow swirled" stamp set (stampin up) and the smaller snowflake is out of the limited edition "Country Living Kit" (stampin' up)........... Why I do believe the entire card was created using Stampin' Up! products.........  Oops not the punches, those are Marvy Uchida............

Well I will be back with an amazing card that you will not want to miss.
