Here's what I came up with for both challenges...
I'm usually much more of a CAS card maker, but I really layered it on for this particular card! All of my dies are from PTI...Bold Borders: Flurries, Into The Blooms: Dahlia, & Silver White Winters (Snowflake), and my cardstock is all SU!...Real Red, Evening Evergreen, & Soft Succulent. I also ink blended on the flowers and the leaves, and even added some white splatters too.
The flower centers and part of the JOY die cut were embossed with Altenews Rose Gold embossing powder, and although it doesn't show up very well in either of my photos, I used Tim Holtz's Distress Mica Flakes on the one snowflake, which really sparkles in real life. This is a pretty busy card, but I love how it turned out!
Lots of great cards from both DT's if you need some inspiration to finish up those Christmas cards...just follow my links at the beginning of my post!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
Beautiful card. I love those Dahlias and had to get this set. TFS
