Snowflake sparkle

Good morning folks

Sorry for my silence, a return to work plus family commitments have meant my blog has been pushed to the bottom of my To Do list.

More festive sparkle for you today -

For this card I have used - 

• white centura pearl (for the card base)
• winter wonderland paper pad from Chloe's Creative Cards
• rainbow mirri
• Chloe's Creative Cards glitzy snowflakes and holly tag stamp and die sets
• Chloe's Creative Cards all about Christmas stamp
• Chloe's Creative Cards sparkling snowflakes stencil
• clear stencil paste
• put on your dancing shoes Sparkelicious glitter
• silver dollar embossing powder
• blue gems from my stash

I applied the texture paste to the stencil, removed the stencil and then added the glitter onto the whole thing. Once dry I shook off the excess glitter.

I heat embossed the snowflake stamps, then cut out using the die and finally built them up.

That's all from me today, enjoy your Sunday.
