I have a few more Christmas designs to show you today using Chocolate Baroque's new Winter Edges set.
To create the background above I sprayed Calypso Teal & Linen Dylusions Inks, spritzed with a little water and added a little sea salt here & there. When dry, I embossed the Snowflake & Village edges from Winter Edges with Wow-Black Twinkle which has lots of glitter. I added little holograph circle stickers to the centers of the snowflakes. Warm Winter Wishes is from Warm Christmas Greetings.
I also used the fabulous Snowflake Ornament from Snowflake Flourish for the card below.
I created the background with Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks using the Acrylic Block technique. Both snowflakes edge stamps from Winter Edges were stamped with Salty Ocean Distress Ink. I also stamped a snowflake from Snowflake Flourish with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. The Ornament from Snowflake Flourish was embossed with a blue glitter powder on separate card stock and coloured with a Tombow marker. I added lots of rhinestones to the centers of the snowflakes. Merry Christmas is also from Warm Christmas Greetings.
I have one more design using the Snowflake Flourish & Winter Edges sets.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day,
Shirley

Three gorgeous cards Shirley, all of them in gorgeous colours. I love how you've combined the new stamps with the bauble (this is my favorite bauble stamp).
Hope you're having a great week.

WOW Shirley,love your amazing christmas cards,love the glitter of the balls and the beautiful colors and backround.

I know I've said it before but your matting is just a joy to see - it sends little shivers of delight up my back when I see what you do. Your use of gems, embossing & glitter is striking in all of these but I think the green one has to be my favourite. I always fall for the green!!

PS - I can see why you needed a break from Christmas, but it looks like you'll have the card problem done & dusted well before Advent.
Love the vibrancy of your cards Shirley, I have just purchased those inks and not tried them yet, I am eager to though. What does the sea salt do? I was going to attend a class on using these inks but I am sure I don't need to pay a fortune with kind blogging buddies like you..luv aNNie xx
Yum yum, such delicious colours! Love that snowflake border, very effective. All beautiful xmas cards Shirley! xx
Beautiful card and beautiful colours. janny
How pretty your winter wonderlands are, Shirley! Amazing colors in your last card (LOVE those images), and your greens look so Christmasy in the 2nd card. My favorite is the first card because it looks like the northern lights and magical backdrop with the glittery village and sky line!
