Happy Friday,
A real mix of stamping, media plates and die cutting today with a bit of letter pressing thrown in!
I stared by making the stamped bauble using the bauble media plate, izink pigment inks and just one stamp from the Christmas Scene clear stamp set.
I then cut this out and matted and layers it using the press cut plain and stitch dot circles. I added a bow of light blue lace with pearl swirls and a velum poinsettia.
For the background I added a light blue izink pigment ink to my snowflake circle embossing folder. I then embossed this to remove most of the ink to get the faded look I spritzed a piece of card with water then embossed the piece with the same folder. This removed the last pale ink making a really soft and dreamy background to the white snowflakes.
I made up the card as shown.
Enjoy...
Happy Friday,
Morning John, a very pretty card really must get a move on with my Christmas cards and all your wonderful ideas.

Hi John. Love this card, not only because of the colours you have chosen, but also because I really love the shape of the bauble (I may have mentioned this before). Thanks for the inspiration.
