This week I am working with the Warm Wishes set...


and the card...


I stamped the scene on white card stock with a dark distress ink. Once I cut/embossed the panel I inked the edges lightly with Memento Desert Sand. The flourish is a die I cut in two and arranged behind the die cut snowflake. Stickles add just the perfect bling to my due of nested snowflakes. The seam binding bow was created with my DT sister, Becca's Peg Bow Maker. And a tiny tear drop shaped gemstone finishes it off!

Now I will send you on your way to Sandee's WONDERFUL blog. Blessings and thanks so much for stopping by!
