Winter Wishes

Hi there
Thanks for stopping by today. This is the 3rd card from last Saturday's class. 

I think this card is kind of classy.  Silver and gold embossed trees and some white snowflakes are the only stamped images on the panel.

I made my own corners out of gold card stock. I cut a square and then cut it diagonally. I then added a gold corner on two opposite corners and the sentiment was stamped and embossed  in gold on a label shape and that finishes this card off in no time.

You will notice that as I stamped the tree, I overlapped and changed the colors of the embossing powder as I went along. Stamp from one side to the other. (I started on the right and worked to the left.) I started with the gold tree, heated that one, next stamped 2 trees and embossed with silver. Then reverted back to gold and then back to silver for the last tree. 

After the trees were done I stamped the snowflakes and used white embossing powder

The stamping was done on a black panel that was then attached to a cream card. The cream card seems to fade into the white background of this pic (sorry).
