You can see I chose to create with black, white, silver and my favorite frosty color--Pool Party. I struggle with this style of collage stamping but I had a vision for this card and am happy with the results. I used the large cross hatch design from You've Got This for a pop of color.
The snowflake and sentiments are from the Holly Jolly Greetings set with coordinating Greetings Thinlits. I heat embossed the snowflake in white onto Silver Foil paper and popped it out with a Circle Framelit.
The greeting looks lovely and fancy cut from Black Glimmer paper doesn't it? Who said black glimmer paper is just for Halloween?! Certainly, not me!
Another snowflake was stamped on the inside, this time in Pool Party and the sentiment, overstamped in black, is from the [retired] set Ornamental Pine. Incidentally, the sentiment is stamped in SU's new Archival black ink and WOW what a difference it makes! It gives a clean and strong image and is hands-down the best black ink I've worked with.
I just know the rest of the Design Team have some fabulous creations for you--make sure to take a look over at The Paper Players. I hope you will be inspired to join in our challenge fun before it ends on Friday, November 13th at Noon (PST). Thanks for stopping by today, friends!
