Hello!! Hope everyone here in the US had a lovely Thanksgiving! We had a really wet one, but that is the Pacific Northwest in the winter! Stopping in with my card for this month's PTI blog hop. Nichole provided a lovely inspiration photo with lots of different directions you could go in. I decided to focus on the two packages that were done in blue with gold polka dots. It made me think of Tiffany Blue so the hunt was on to find a light robin's egg blue in my collection. I finally hit on one with some very old Close to My Heart cardstock that I have. I used PTI's What the Doodle: Snowflake, as well as a sentiment from Rustic Wreath. I stamped the large snowflake on the light blue cardstock using VersaMark ink, applied gold embossing powder and heat set. Once I had that done I die cut the snowflake using the matching die. The swirl image from the set was stamped twice using Delicata Golden Glitz on a panel of white cardstock that I die cut and then the sentiment was stamped using a light blue similar to the cardstock. The sentiment is hard to read, but I didn't want to use a really dark ink like black so I went with the light blue. The layout for the card is based on the current Freshly Made Sketches so I will be posting it there, as well. Also posting this to the current SSS Wednesday challenge of Christmas to die for.
Hope you have a wonderful day and happy hopping...
Supplies: Cardstock: white, Close to My Heart light blue; Stamps: PaperTrey Ink; Dies: PaperTrey Ink and AJVD; Inks: VersaMark watermark, Delicata Golden Glitz, Hero Arts Soft Pool

Gorgeous snowflake, Rosemary! And gorgeous card!
Terrific card, Rosemary! I love the soft blue sentiment layered with the fold swirl.
Absolutely beautiful, Rosemary!
I just love the What the Doodle Snowflake but I still haven't used it for a card. Too many ideas and not enough time I suppose!
I love the What the Doodle Snowflake but I haven't used it for a card yet. I definitely want to after seeing yours.
Your gold-embossed snowflake looks like a star coming into view and blazing a trail! Beautiful, Rosemary! Hugs, Darnell
Beautiful card, Rosemary! Love using the blue & gold color combo with the snowflake--which I have & haven't yet opened, but you've inspired me! Hoping this next storm isn't as bad as they say it will be. Enjoy the weekend!
Very striking! Great colors and design!
Beautiful, Rosemary ... a gorgeous snowflake ... love that delicate, subtle star flourish! Hugs, Anita :)
