I started with a Night of Navy card base and a layer of Bashful Blue Card Stock for my card. Different shades of blue are my Christmas go-to's as I tend to shy away from traditional red and green. Blues remind me of snow and cold weather and although it is typically in the low 80's in December in Naples, you can take the girl out of New England but you just can't take the New England out of the girl! I stamped my snowman image in Jet Black Staz On ink on Whisper White Card Stock. I then placed my stamped layer in the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder and ran it through my Big Shot. I stamped the image before running it through my embossing folder so I could see the exact placement of the snowflakes so they would not run into my stamped image. This card was a CASE of one I saw by Melissa Leach on Stampin' Connection, an incredible sharing site that is open only to Stampin' Up Demonstrators. I love the clean lines and how the embossing folder and stamp compliment each other beautifully.
It is a little difficult to see in the picture but the snowflakes were highlighted with 2Way Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter for some added sparkle. The snowman and his little friends were colored in using my Stampin' Write Markers in Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Pumpkin Pie and Basic Grey.
Thanks for stoppin' by and Stamp-A-Stack card #5 will be posted tomorrow so please be sure to stop by again!
