I started by making my own background with a Hero Arts background stamp (Snowflakes Bold Prints) and Royal Velvet and white inks. (I stamped in the Royal Velvet ink first, turned my cardstock a quarter turn, re-inked the stamp with white pigment ink and stamped again) I embossed my sentiment in silver from Neat and Tangled's Bright Baubles on a strip of Royal Velvet cardstock, and then die cut a snowflake (Poppystamps - Giovanna Snowflake) from holographic cardstock. I also added a couple very thin strips of the holographic cardstock above and below the sentiment banner. A couple rhinestones finished my card. I think I will be making a few more of these cards as it was so easy to make and I think it turned out just lovely with these colors!! :0)
