Snowy Christmas Blessings (ODBDSLC135)

Happy Tuesday Friends!!

I hope all are doing well and are well on their way to being prepared for Christmas. I am still working on Christmas cards. We have been enjoying a lot of singing and programs at church for the holidays. It is so fun to see all the activities focusing on the Savior's birth!! What a time of rejoicing!!

Today I would like to share a card that I made for the Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs which is to include snow or snowflakes.

The card is created using the Our Daily Bread Designs stamps: Snowflake Background, Snowflake Sentiments, Sparkling Snowflake.

The white background is dry embossed with a snowflake embossing folder from Cuttlebug's Winter Wonderland Collection.

The other layers were created using the Snowflake Background embossed on white with Night of Navy Craft ink and Kaleidoscope embossing powder and Kaleidoscope embossing powder on white.

The sentiment is from the Snowflake Sentiments (from ODBD).

The snowflakes themselves themselves were created with Sparkling Snowflakes (from ODBD) embossed in white on hard recycled plastic and cut out by hand. The pearls are ZVA Creative.

Card Recipe:

Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs Snowflake Background, Snowflake Sentiments, Sparkling Snowflake.

Accessories: plastic from cover of embossing folder pack (recycled), Kaleidoscope embossing powder, white and navy ink, ZVA Creative Pearls, ruffled ribbon, navy lace

Embossing Folder: snowflake embossing folder from Cuttlebug's Winter Wonderland Collection.
