Hi there. This is my final card before I set Christmas aside for a while. It is the card for my hubby using a Sweet Dixie stamp called Snowy Kisses which I was lucky enough to win earlier in the year, and I saved it with the idea of using it on his card as I thought the kissing snow couple were so sweet, and also an embossing folder called Touch of Winter.
I started by cutting a piece of white card to fit inside the 7" x 5" folder and I did my usual trick of spritzing it to stretch the fibres before running it through my machine. I then stamped the image onto this embossed background using my Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and heat embossed using WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder. I coloured it using my Inktense Pencils taking the colour from the tip with a waterbrush, and then I attached it to the white 7" x 5" base card. I did cut the topper down slightly to leave just a small border of white around the edge. I finished by adding a die cut sentiment cut from mid blue card first backing it with some Stick It adhesive so that it is easy to attach.
Thank you for visiting me here today and although Christmas can be a difficult time for some people, I hope everyone managed to enjoy it in some way or other. Hubby and I are always busy before Christmas with various things we belong to, and so when it arrives we are quite happy to relax for a few days.
Anyway, thank you for visiting me here today and I'll see you again soon.

A lovely stamp, beautifully coloured and using the embossing folder has given it added interest. Pleased you've had a few relaxing days - same here and now it's time to put the Christmas crafty bits away and move onto something else.
