Yay!! Its time for The Alley Way Stamps October Blog Hop!!! That means its release time and we have some fun new stamps!!! Three new sets plus a mini set free with a $40 purchase! There is also a chance to win all three new sets!! (details below)
I used the new Snow Daze set, a perfect snowflake stamp set!! I started with some dark brown card stock (it was leftover from my sneak card!) i thought it would make a wonderful non traditional winter card!!
I stamped one of the snowflakes with versamark ink all over the card base, then embossed it with this white and gold glitter embossing powder i have. I also did NOT use my antistatic bag before embossing! I did this because i wanted the little embossing pieces to be all over my card stock! I think it helps the snowflakes look even more like well... snowflakes!! :D
Next i pulled out this lovely sparkly white gold ribbon. I think i picked it up at Micheal's in the wrap department last year! Its is a gorgeous color!!! I adhered three strips of it, near the bottom of my card base.
I die cut a tiny tag and stamped the Merry & Bright from the also new stamp set All Wrapped Up in versamark ink. I embossed it with white embossing powder (using my antistatic bag first) :D I added a little bit of ribbon to the top of the tag and then used my scissors to curl the long tails. Last i added the tag to my card base with foam dots!!
I really love how sparkly and elegant this card turned out!!!
