I love this blue and lavender color combo; I don't think I've used it for a Christmas card before. The busy panel here was made by repeatedly stamping a snowflake image to fill the space, stamping several generations before reinking. It's a technique that was featured on Splitcoast a few weeks ago, and it results in an interesting textured background..
The singular snowflake was inked in purple and clear-embossed. The snowflakes are from Purple Onion Design.
This card is for these challenges:
Winter Wonderland -- add a snowflake

ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty color combo for Christmas. I should really use it more often, as I think it conveys the feeling of "cold." Thanks for joining us at CHNC Extra! :)
