Snowflakes and Stitches

Hello and Welcome

I'm really enjoying creating Christmas cards, sure hope you are too.

This cards started out totally different.  When I messed up part of it and had to cut it down, this card happened.  I actually like it better then what I had originally planned....gotta love that!

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock.  I placed the Heart Flakes stencil from A Colorful Life Designs over my paper and using some DOX inks, stencilled in the bkg.

I took the Outline Snowflakes stamp, placed it into my Misti and stamped over the stencilled bkg. using black ink.

To add some extra interest, I used the Hemstitch die to cut a rectangle over the stencilled/stamped bkg.

I die-cut the sentiment twice and glued it together.  

When I put my card together, I thought it needed something more so I used a white Sakura pen to add in the stitched lines on the edges.  The finishing touch was to add the square jewel to the center of the largest snowflake.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
