Hello!! Hope your week has been good. Here in the Puget Sound area of Washington our week started out pretty wacky with high winds and tons of rain. We lost power 3 times on Monday evening! Thankfully the outages didn't last long, but it was still annoying!! Our week has ended way better though with a little bit of sun! Anyway... I have a card to share. This is for the current Color Throwdown, Dies R Us and SSS flickr challenges. The DRU challenge is snowflakes I pulled out my SSS Frozen Fractals stamp set and embossed all of the snowflakes in the set on watercolor paper with silver embossing powder. Then I did a wash of dark blue watercolor over the top. The SSS Christmas Blessings die set was cut from light blue glitter cardstock and then adhered to a vellum banner so that they would stand out a bit more against the blue background. I finished things off with some silver embroidery floss tied in a little bow. 
Hope you have wonderful day...
