Hi everybody. I hope that you have all had an enjoyable Christmas so far, and I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to all those who have visited and left comments thoughout the last year as I do so appreciate it.
I have been way behind with everthing, and I have not shown many of the cards I made as although I did take photos I just didn't get around to putting the posts up, so I will show as many as I can in the next few days prior to the new year. Here are the first couple featuring the Crafter's Companion Frosted Elegance Embossing Folder and I added a snowflake from a set of three dies by Craft Emotions.
A simple card using this large embossed snowflake which I matted onto silver mirri card and added to a 6" square white card. I then used some silver Pebeo Gilding Wax over the raised areas using a piece of tissue over my finger and carefully rubbing the surface to transfer the wax, just to highlight the pretty image. I then added the snowflake keeping the centre intact cutting it from a piece of white card on which I had rubbed plenty of the wax, rubbing the excess wax off to give it a bit of a shine. I then added this to the centre of the snowflake. I finished it with a matted layer and a die cut sentiment cut from silver mirri
card.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
ABC Christmas Challenge - 'Y' is for Your Choice and 'Z' is for Zebra.
Peace on Earth Challenge - No. 54 Anything Christmas Goes.
52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge - December Technique Challenge: Clean and Simple.
For this second card I just embossed the central part of the snowflake using gold mirri card and cut it out and added it over the top but twisted slightly, and then added a white snowflake using the same die as above, only without any of the inset central pieces. I then finished the card with a die cut gold sentiment using the same die as above.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge - No. 153 Anything Christmas Goes.
Happy Little Stampers December Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes/Festive Animals.
Thank you for visiting my blog today and I'll see you again soon.

Such a gorgeous snowflake! I love the way you rubbed the gilding wax over it. You've inspired me to investigate gilding wax - something I've never used. Thank you so much for joining us at Peace on Earth!
