Online Card Classes: Holiday Style Lesson 2

Lesson 2 Classic & Elegant Cards

This is one of my favorite cards that I've ever created. I like it so much, I've not been able to send it to anyone yet.
Since the lesson was focused on elegant cards I thought I'd C.A.S.E. this one and create a holiday version.

And thus this one was born.
One the original birthday card, I used a one layer approach to the stamped panel,
so I masked and blended my inks right on the panel where I stamped the silver flowers.
On the holiday card, I stamped the silver snowflakes using Silver Delicata Pigment Ink and embossed them
with Wow Clear Embossing Powder.  I then die cut a stitched circle from an MFT Dienamics set.
I used several colors of Ranger Distress Inks to color it in (Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Mermaid Lagoon).
I stamped the sentiment with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and heat embossed again with the Wow Clear EP.
I then used my Versa Mark pad and coated the entire circle and added another layer of Wow Clear EP.
I added three snowflakes made from the glitter embossed cardstock that I had created for yesterday's project.
I used Mermaid Lagoon Ranger Distress Ink on the sides of my card base.
I added a few blue and clear gems and the card was finished.
OMGosh I love it too! Not sure I'll be able to send it anyone.
Does that happen to anyone else?
Leave me a comment and tell me what you think.

Happy Crafting
