Hi there crafty friends! How do you feel about this aqua, silver and white Christmas card? Want a chance to win it? Just leave a comment on today's post to be entered into the drawing. I started this card by embossing a piece of aqua card using my Frosty Swirls embossing folder. I used some Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue and ran a bead along some of the swirls then dusted it with Iced Snow and allowed it to dry. I added small pearls to the centres of the snowflakes on the background too. Using the Grand Large Labels, I cut a frame out of coconut white card and added mounting foam to the back to raise it for dimension. I added it to my aqua embossed background and trimmed away any excess that showed. I stamped the two Bauble stamps using a clear Perfect medium pad on to silver card, then heat embossed them in Silver Shine detail powder for a tone on tone look. I cut them out with the matching Bauble die, added some silver cording to the top with a small bow and tucked the end of it under the edge of the frame, securing it with some glue. I added mounting foam to the backs of the baubles to attach them to the card background. I stamped my sentiment on vellum and embossed it in silver and cut it into a banner strip. I attached it to the side of my frame, giving it a bit of curve before gluing it in place. Using the Elegant Poinsettia stamps, I stamped them on to vellum with a Clear Perfect Medium and heat embossed them in silver. I cut them out with the Classic Poinsettia die and made five assorted sizes of flowers. I attached the two larger ones to the end of my sentiment banner with several white Holly Sprays coming from around them as accents. I added small white pearls and Iced Snow to the holly sprays as embellishments. The three smaller poinsettias were added to the opposite corner of the frame. The card was completed with my usual white pierced mat layer, a thin silver mat and a final white mat. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size. I will draw the winner and announce it on Saturday's blog post so don't forget to check back. Check out the counter at the very bottom of the page, I am very excited to see it has nearly hit a new milestone (or at least as of the writing of this blog post late last night!) Hopefully by morning when this post goes live I will be able to say that it has hit a new milestone! All for now, Sue x

I had to sit and drink in the beauty of this card for a while before I was able to type a coherent response. This is absolutely stunning!! I would love to have this headed my way. I am having major surgery on Friday and knowing this was on it's way to me would make going under the knife a little easier!
Congratulations on 6 million plus! That is a whole lot of zeros! LOL I am not surprised that you have that many because your creations are awe inspiring and I cannot wait to get my hands on some of your products so I can try to recreate some of them with my own spin!
