I have used some beautiful stamps from Serendipity Stamps, Snowflake Flourish Cling set. I just thought these elegant colours went well with these elegant images.
I have used a Crumb Cake card base, and stamped the snowflake onto some Naturals Ivory S.U! cardstock in Versafine smoky Grey, and distressed the edges with my Tim Holtz distressing tool, and Antique Linen ink. I then layered this onto some grey Core'dinations card, also distressed with my little T.H. tool.
I then layered together and wrapped some Silver Satin ribbon and Antique Gold Velvet ribbon both from The Ribbon Reel shop.
I created the label using the Serendipity Stamps sentiment stamped in Sahara Sand, and framed with Crumb Cake using my new Sissix Decorative Framelits #2 set. Again I inked around the edges with Antique Linen. Around the very edge of the frame I ran a thin line of Glossy Accents and sprinkled some glamour dust over.
The three cream and tan blossoms are from The Hobby House, tied together with a thin grey satin bow, topped with some more glamour dust.
Here's a close up of these pretty snowflake flourishes. I added some cream pearls for that all important lustre.
Finally I added some clear gems to the sentiment label for a little bit of twinkle. Well, it is (almost) Christmas!
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
