The backing paper on the card above is Celtic Lunettes in soft blue - such pretty paper. The folder used on this card is Snowdots. Some while ago I made a partial embossing pad (check Ikki's blog for details on how to make all type so shapes) that was rectangular, but with a hole in the middle. The idea being only the border of the folder embosses. There is a very slight embossed detail in the middle, but not too much. I then stamped my image in the centre of the card and coloured with Promarkers to coordinate with the backing paper. I matted both the backing paper and embossed card onto some mirri card. I added some crystal glitter to the body of the snowman and on the ground. Finally, I made a greeting box - here using my long rectangles.
The backing paper on this card is Celtic Squares in heather. The folder used this time is Snowflakes, and the greeting was made using Labels 14.
