I used a flourish template to make a faint pattern to follow as I stamped the snowflakes. I started off by stamping the text stamp and the scalloped snowflake, and then masked them off. Then I stamped a selection of smaller snowflakes following the flourish pattern.
Stamps: Fiskars - Winter Wonderland
Inks: Kaleidacolor - Blue Breeze
Accessories: Flourish template and card from stash
I really like the shades of blue and turquoise in the card - looks so cool, but I think I may add some glitter to give it a really frosty feel too! I'll add a picture of that later.
I had a busy evening doing more on my craft inventory. If you've got a craft room of any size - you will have a quite an inventory of crafting goodies. I suspect that you have more than you think - I have! I've been collecting my craft stash for about 10 years and I have wildly underestimated how much it would cost to replace. So, if you haven't got your craft room listed separately on your insurance, check it out - it's more than you think.
That's all for now. Lots to do today - post Kathryn's passport application, do a bit more Christmas shopping and start writing my Christmas cards!! I'm running late and those that have to go to the US are already late!

Oh, Deborah, this is amazing! I LOVE the different colors of blue that you chose--they work together so well! :)
Super idea using the flourish as a template for the snowflakes - lovely effect with the blues & aquas too.
Not surprised about the inventory - dies & inkpads are not cheap.
