I will try to get a better photo of this card at some point because those mirror silver medallions look more like gold, but they are bright silver and hard to photograph. The mirror silver was cut with Spellbinder's circle dies. Each center has a blue glittered snowflake done with a die from the retired SU! Pillow Box die set, and each snowflake has a matching silver brad in the center. The embossed panel was done with a Darice snowflake ef and the designer paper is a snippet I found in my overflowing box of scraps. I cut two narrow strips of the glittered blue paper and edged the embossed panel with them to tie everything together. The sentiment is from SU!'s Teeny Tiny Wishes which was released in 2009-2010.
I'll share with the Sketch Saturday #739
I used the middle horizontal line of Die Cut or punch / Pattern Paper / Embossing.
