The starting point of today's card was the ColourQ challenge #306 and the MFT sketch #244. I thought the soft colours with the dash of black could look cool paired with the new snowflake set called Flurry of Wishes (available on page 25 of the Holiday Catalogue).
The sentiment was embossed in Black Stampin' Emboss powder on Pool Party cardstock and the top of the tag was punched with the Ornate Tag Topper Punch. I used two pieces of cotton ribbon at top: Whisper White and Rich Razzleberry, then added Rhinestones on each side. At the bottom, I created a banner piece out of Silver Glimmer Cardstock and glued three hearts that were left on my desk from a previous project. (They were die-cut with the heart border from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits set.)
The background piece was stamped with snowflakes in Wisteria Wonder ink first, then I used my heat tool to dry the ink thoroughly, before rubbing the cardstock with the Embossing Buddy, stamping the big snowflake with VersaMark ink and embossing it with Iridescent Ice Stampin' Emboss Powder.
To finish off the project, I added sequins that I had leftover from the Watercolor Wishes Project Kit. They are shimmery Pool Party sequins so they matched the colors perfectly.
For my card base, I used Whisper White Thick Cardstock so my card would be sturdier. Don't forget we sell this thicker white cardstock on page 149 of the Annual Catalogue.
