CAS Snowflake

I combined 2 challenges to make this card today. I used the CASology Cue Card#10 with the word "sky" to inspire my card. I also used the CAS-ual Friday's CFC69 challenge to "emboss - wet or dry." The snowflake from CTMH was stamped with Versamark, then embossed with clear detail. I sponged Danube Blue, Summer Sky, and Lulu Lavender inks by Memento to add color. The sentiment was masked from a HM image by Stampendous in Danube blue, and I added lavender and silver gems & beads, along with a silver snowflake brad for the finishing touches. The die cut is by SB.



Thanks for stopping by today - I wish you a wonderful Wednesday!

    A snowflake...now why didn't I think of that?! Maybe because I'm trying to avoid the thought of snow! LOL!

    Beautiful image and perfect colors! Love the shape of the frame you used too! Thanks so much for joining us at CASology! :)
