Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card!

I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here).

I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect:


For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :)

Supplies:
Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits
Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock
Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU! Crumb Cake
Embellishments: Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder, CTMH Gold Bling Gems

The inspiration for this week in the  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge : This is my interpretation of the sketch: I was so excited to do this sketch, because I remembered that I had some White Daisy Circle Spin cards from CTMH that I'd never used... this is the perfect sketch to use them with! It's also my first project using CTMH Seaside. Thanks for looking! :) Supplies : Inks - SU! Chocolate Chip Paper - CTMH Seaside, Glacier, Kraft and Dollarama Chocolate Brown Stamps - CTMH Happy Everything and Finding the Words Dies - Spellbinders Classic Square Large and Standard Circle Large Punches - Fiskars Scallop border punch and SU! 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Etc- CTMH Glacier Extra Thick twine and White Daisy Circle Spin card

Snowflakes in June?!
