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

Hello Sue
This is a lovely card I do love the rich blue colours.Take care everyone x
Morning Sue. A beautiful card. Love the blue x
Pretty card and not overly Christmas
Lovely card.
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 🙏 🙏 🙏.
