I decided to go shabby chic with a distressed look for this card. I am challenged with the coluzzle- always have been but I think the distressing made up for the poor cutting, haha.
This really looks so much better in person-the colors are much richer looking. I can't wait until tomorrow when my light box arrives! I "won" it on e-bay and it really was a good deal. My winning bid was $39 and the "stated" value was $149.00!! My stamps are all from Stampin Up. I embossed the snow flakes and for the image I stamped it on ivory cardstock in Tim Holtz vintage photo. I distressed the card with 2 inks-1 generic-there's not even a color label on it and the 2nd again in vintage photo. The dp is from the Christmas Glitter pad from My Minds Eye. This paper just sparkles-but again hard to tell in this photo.
