Happy Holidays

Hey everyone!  Just a quick post to share a card I made.  For this card I decided to step away from my beloved white cardstock and use a coloured card base.  I realized recently that I don't use other colours for my card bases very often anymore.  I need to try and use some colour now and then. :-). Take a look...


So I used a nice dark blue cardstock for my base and I masked off a section and stamped my snowflakes (both by Hero Arts, large one F5793 and small one LP209) and embossed them in white.  Then I removed the mask and stamp my sentiment (Michaels) and embossed it in white as well.  I added some trimmed strips of silver glitter tape to finish it off.  Love the look of the white and silver against the blue.

Well, I hope you've enjoyed your visit!  I'm off to paint some more kitchen cupboards!  Have a wonderful day!

I'd like to link up to the following challenges:
