Almost two weeks ago Sue W's challenge for the Christmas Card Club was 'Roll up, roll up, snowballs and glitter'. On this occasion, because of other commitments, I just wasn't able to make a card at the right time, so here is my very late effort, although I'm not happy with it.
I chose a stardream sparkly, glittery card blank in a rich deep blue, stampin the top with an Indigo Blu stamp from the 'Here comes Santa' collection - bought this set a while ago and this is the first time any of it has seen ink. I inked with versamark and heat embossed with silver super sparkle powder. I did the same with the Stampavie Rachel Anne Miller snowman stamp and a selection of Wild Rose Studio snowflakes stamps. The sentiment stamp is from a Forever Friends collection. I thought the snowman should at least have some white so I used a Sakura pen, but am not happy with the grainy result, but, hey ho, 'tis done now.
The silver embossed areas are a lot more glittery in real life.
