I was inspired to make this card after seeing a card that Kristina Werner made. Here is the original card that inspired me!
I just loved what she did with it and I had been wanting to play along in the Whimsical Designs challenge to use a snowflake and bling.
I started with a kraft base. The top 2 corners are rounded at a 1/2 inch.
I used a Gelly Roll pen to do the faux stitching.
The papers are from the Echo Park 6 by 6 pad Winter Park.
The bling is just from the $1 bin at Michael's.
The stamps are all from SP & Company.
Snowflakes from Falling Snow stamped using Marina Mist ink from Stampin' Up.
Sentiment from Ultimate Sentiments 1. Same ink.
The bottom is Circletastic stamped with Versamark and then heat embossed using some white embossing powder.
This came together SO quickly since I was using Kristina's sketch. Normally I spend hours on a card so it was nice to have one come together so quickly.
I'll be entering this over at Whimsical Designs for their Winter Wonderland challenge.
This is a lovely card, thanks for visiting me. xxx
