Glistening Snow

8:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen | | Edit Post

Hello Friends!! I hope everyone is enjoying their week!! We are still decorating for the holidays. What is sad is all the work we do put it up, it must also come back down.....what a bummer!! I really enjoy all the lights and decorations!!

Today I have another fun winter card to share with you today using the Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light challenge sketch!! I made it to match my ornament from yesterday. I wanted to achieve a shabby chic feel.

ODBD stamp sets used: Snowflake Sentiments, Sparkling Snowflakes, Mini Snowflakes

Dies: ODBD Snowflakes, Scalloped and classic Circles from Spellbinders

Paper: Cosmo Cricket- Mitten Weather, kraft, Very Vanilla

Ink: Soft Sky, Memento Black, Versa Mark

Accessories: Pearls, Lace, ribbon, gold embossing powder, sewing machine

Here is the sketch:

Here is the ornament I posted yesterday:

It includes a tutorial which can be found here.

I will be back after the holidays when the themes change. I love playing along there, and look forward to it. Hope you can come by and play with us soon at WAW.
Have a blessed week!
