Colour, Cut and Emboss...

Happy Tuesday,

 A simple card today made using the snowflake swirl cut and emboss folder.

I simply inked the folder using Izink Pigment ink in sky blue and ran it through my gemini to emboss, letterpress and cut the aperture.  I added a layer of silver mirror card using my media plate dies and made a background using silver Izink pigment ink and a finger dauber.  I coloured a stag form my deer scenes die and added this before adding a piece of snow acetate.

I extended the size from a square to a rectangle by adding a strip of ribbon at the top and matted the card as shown using a twisted mat to add more frame.

A few elegant snowflakes and complete.

Enjoy...

    Hi John. What a really lovely card today. Love the embossing folder with all its detail, but the star of the show for me is the stag which looks so regal.
