This was my first chance to test out the Snowflake Sentiments bundle. One of the DTGD challenges was calling for heat emboss resist and I thought I could do a nice background using the snowflakes from this set. I looked at past ColourQ combos for inspiration and spotted #255. I swapped Rich Razzleberry just to get a chance to include a new In Color and I love the rich look you get by pairing those colours. It's a nice twist on the usual snowflake hues as well.
And have you seen that amazing border? All done with new dies from the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits set. The details are really intricate, but all of the cut pieces fell right out so I was impressed that there was no fiddling required. My only mistake was forgetting to put adhesive sheet on the back of the cardstock before die-cutting, which I would advise you do (now that the adhesive sheets are back in the Stampin' Up! catalogue, which I am thrilled about).
This is also inspired by the Merry Monday Summer Catch-Up challenge (#171 - Sentiment as focal point).
