Silvery Let it Snow



Hi, Friends......

I am here with a silvery snowy Christmas card using Memory Box stamps for the Simon Says STAMPtember Memory Box Collaboration Challenge. This is such a lovely stamp set....I don't know why I don't use it more often!

I also am participating in the current MFT Sketch Challenge:


This sketch was perfect for using a scrap of one of my layered embossed backgrounds that I make from my narrow leftover strips. It's difficult tell in the photo, but I heat embossed the sentiment in bright white to give it a little more emphasis against the black background and surrounding snowflakes.


Supplies used include:
Memory Box - Making Spirits Bright stamp set
WOW! Embossing Powder - Opaque Bright White Regular (for sentiment)
Ranger - Embossing Powder silver for snowflakes
Versamark ink
Simon Says Stamp - Falling Snow stencil
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set
Darice - Interlocking Circles embossing folder
DCWV scraps from stash for background
Core'dinations/Darice solid cardstock
Ribbon from stash

Hope you enjoyed my card. Thank you so much for stopping by today!!!

🖤
Janis

  4. Wonderful card Janis and such clever use of snippets as well. i did giggle at the cat paw prints in the snow :)

    Sorry it's taken me a while to comment - Dudley took a downward turn and has been quite poorly with what our vet says is gastroenteritis. We still feel it was the tick medication that caused it - toxins are a known cause of gastroenteritis. Thankfully he seem to be properly on the mend having had a jab to stop him being sick plus other meds to be taken daiy including anti-biotics and of course all our attention has been focused on him these past few days.

    Hugs

  11. Wow, that layered embossed piece couldn't be more perfect for this sketch! I love everything about this beautiful card, especially the silver and white heat embossing and dark card base. The silver snowflakes really stand out and tie in with the shimmery silver ribbon. I really like this one!
