I created the card below for the current Christmas Kickstart Challenge - Snowflakes are Winter's Butterflies. I started with a piece of Hero Arts handmade watercolor paper - so yummy! First I stamped the sentiment in Faded Jeans and clear embossed. Next I stamped some snowflakes & white embossed, then inked the whole panel with Faded Jeans, Speckled Egg and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. Spritzed with a bit of water. Stamped more snowflakes using Speckled Egg then die cut the panel with a stitched dot rectangle. Inked the edges lightly with Faded Jeans & glued to an A2 card base. Added some die cut snowflakes and gems - done!
Supplies: Paper - Spellbinder's A2 card;
Hero Arts Handmade Watercolor Paper
Stamps - Hero Arts Winter's Butterfly (retired)
Dies - Sunny Studio Snowflake Circle Frame
A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop
The stamp set containing the sentiment and snowflakes remains a fave of mine. Hero Arts released it in 2008 and it's still in perfect condition all these years later. Thanks Hero Arts for your quality products!! And I love the snowflake die set from Sunny Studio and use it often! The wonderful Sunny Studio is our March Die Cut Diva sponsor & I hope you'll join in our Birthday challenge!
Thanks to Jo & her Elf for a fun challenge with snowflakes and thanks to you for visiting!!

You've perfectly captured the beauty of snow and snowflakes. The layers you created with the inking, stamping, heat-embossing, and die-cut snowflakes is enchanting!
Love this sentiment! Terrific card, Linda!
