Sparkling Tree Tile and and Merry Christmas to All...

 

The NEW Sparkling Tree Tile and Beloved Snowflakes dies, HERE.  Cut in silver metallic card-stock, they really do sparkle and shine...proclaiming peace with the beautiful Peace Script die, HERE.

I love the snowflakes 'flurry-ing' from the bow!  When you cut this die, it cuts three extra snowflakes, just perfect for embellishing!  I added one to the bow and then a shiny silver dome in the center.

This is a Memory Box A2 size Sapphire notecard for the card base.

My next card...well...you know how you have a plan you think...you start out and oh yes... I love this background!  But then what you were planning to do with said background turns south! lol

I'm really happy with the south direction though! lol  The gal's at stamp club this afternoon gave it a thumbs up!  Now I have the challenge of creating something with what was supposed to go with this background!  : )

I embossed the NEW Flurry Frame, HERE by running it through my Big Shot die cutting machine.  Then I inked it with Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress Inks and the ink blending tools.  It's really pretty!

So now to fill in the center!  I cut the top from the NEW Merry Christmas to All die, HERE, then sorted through my dies to find something to work with it.  Landed on the NEW Hanging Ornaments die, HERE but I had to cut it apart to make it work in the space.  It turned out great and there you have the light, airy, frosty feel of this card!

I added some snowflake gems and tiny gemstones to finish it off.

Blue, silver, turquoise and white---they speak of cool, winter days and snowy nights. Something to dream about when it's 90 degrees and 50% humidity. Your cards are beautiful and festive.
