I'm back with another Christmas design, this time using Chocolate Baroque's beautiful new Big Bold Background - Snowflake Shadow. This card can easily be duplicated to make a quick batch of cards. I plan to make more in different colours :)
I stamped and embossed the background with Gold. Next I blended a little Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feather Distress Inks over the background. 'Merry Christmas' is from Gothic Angels which I also embossed with gold and blended a little Seedless Preserves Distress Ink around it. The die is Spellbinder S4-322. I added a couple of snowflake charms hanging out in my embroidery stash and rhinestones in the centres of the flakes. Easy !
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day,
Shirley

I love this card Shirley, the Christmas background stamps are wonderful for making batch cards, and they look so good too. Great colours on this one. Hope you're having a great weekend, pouring with rain here at the moment, so a good day to play.

Such a nice change from the traditional Christmas colours Shirley. I love the golden embossed snowflakes and the touch of pink and blue in the background. Stunning creation as always!
Have a happy day - hugs, Sylvia xxx
Your use of colours for matting again enhances the stamping. That top left snowflake with the Peacock Feathers circle around the central gem echoes your matting layers perfectly & I love how you used the Picked Raspberry & Peacock Feathers for the background then inking whilst using Seedless Preserves for the sentiment edging. The gold snowflake charms are super compliments for the gold embossing.
Hope you've had some rain for the plants.

Oh! Shirley! Isn't this so pretty! How lovely these snowflakes are with the hint of Raspberry here and there - a wonderful pop of color by introducing that with the peacock color. Simply gorgeous! hope you are still enjoying your garden. hugs, de
The gold snowflakes are gorgeous against the beautiful blended background! As always a perfect choice of colors! Very elegant!
Stunning gold snowflakes against that blended background. Until I read the 'how-to', I thought you'd done this over vellum. This is a most beautiful effect. TFS & Hugs
