Warm Winter Wishes

Hello crafters!  I started with a piece of Cobalt Blue card and stamped it with a snowflake stamp.  I used a clear Perfect Medium pad and then heat embossed it with clear detail embossing powder.  I used the larger oval from the Ornate Oval Frame and cut an aperture in the centre (which I used for a card that was posted previously).  I cut the Ornate Oval in white and added the outer loopy edge around the aperture opening.  I recessd the opening by adding mounting foam to the outer background.  I cut the other sections of the Ornate Oval and backed them with Cobalt blue card.  I recessing them and added the Warm Winter Wishes cut in black to the very centre of the card.  I cut three snowflakes in white and added them around the inside as accents.  The card was completed with white and cobalt blue mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Good Morning Sue. I love this card Sue. I love how you have done the background with the snow flakes. If we think out of the box ... Today's card could be a twofer. Stamp the background with flowers and change the sentiment on the front. Birthday ... Get Well ... Any occasion. This is what I love about Particraft. You have taught us how to be so versatile with what we have in our craft boxes. All thanks to you Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏.
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds

Hi Sue. This card is right up my street, although I would probably put bigger and more white snowflakes on it because I always have to go over the top!
