I've gone for non-traditional colours - I think they make Christmas card zing! I'm playing along with CAS Colours & Sketches - CAS#203 where the team want us to use a previous 2016 sketch and make it seasonal; I've used the sketch #195. I've used the colours from Colour Throwdown - CTD#422 and, as it's a holiday card, I'm submitting to Addicted to Stamps and More! - ATSM#223.
I die cut a panel of white water colour card and stamped these gorgeous snowflakes in Versamark, heat embossed them with clear powder and then revealed them with water colour paints. I think emboss resist is one of my favourite techniques! I stamped the greeting on some scrap white card and cut it out with a die. I love the bold pop of orange with the die cut snowflake and the subtle hint of sparkle too. On the inside I cut a mat layer of dark blue card and on the white panel added a sentiment and some funky snowflakes!

Absolutely beautiful water colour emboss resist Debs, love this set too and it always looks wonderful in blues. Your zingy pop of orange is just FAB too with the die-cut snowflake. Hope you're organised with the festivities - have a good one. Sarah x
