Stamps: My Favourite Things - Seasonal Sentiments: Stampin' Up! - Serene Snowflakes
Inks: Versamark; Stampin' Up! - Bravo Burgundy
Die: Memory Box - Winterland Tree
Accessories: SU Card - Bravo Burgundy; Cream lustre card; Silver embossing powderI cut a panel of Bravo Burgundy card onto which I stamped the sentiment and a variety of snowflakes in Versamark and then heat embossed them all with silver powder. I then mounted the panel onto a cream card base. I cut the pretty scroll tree with my new Memory Box die (it's been out for a while, but I only just got it). A tip when cutting with such an intricate die is to use a piece of wax paper between the card and die; it makes getting the little bits out so much easier. For the inside I simply stamped a bold Christmas sentiment.
