This was inspired by Emma Goddard (Coastal Crafter),
who has a fab online card n cuppa Facebook group I highly recommend.
I used an old SU embossing folder, Winter Wonderland
with their two tone paper that has a white core. (Secret Sea, like a dark navy)
The folder breaks the fibres, but I also sanded it to make it show even more.
I added twine and an Inkylicious sentiment that I fussy cut.
The white background is also embossed with another SU folder Winter Snow,
which I should have highlighted with a blending brush, as it’s a bit too subtle 😂
I added wink of Stella, which you can’t see either 🙄

Sanding is a beautiful way to highlight the white core of the card stock and allow the image to shine. It’s a beautiful snowflake. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink. (Jan M )
ReplyDeleteA wonderful clean and simple design, Lesley! Sanding certainly brought out the Snowflake texture. That EF is still part of my collection. Thanks for joining us this week at JAI. Cheers, Jolanda - Guest DT
