We have enjoyed being 'off'' for the holidays. It is kind of depressing to be going back to school and work. We all knew it was coming, we were just hoping for snow days! Oh well, maybe some cards with snow will cheer us up...

This card was stamped with SU French Flair background stamp, then stickers were added. Super easy!

This is an older SU set, but still one of my favorites. I really like the design of the snowflakes.

This set also includes a smaller version of the poinsettia. In this example, I stamped the small flower six times on Ruby Red card stock and water colored some of the petals. I cut out part of three of the flowers to add dimension (a little labor intensive). The center of the poinsettia is colored with a glitter gel pen. All three flowers are mounted on small medallions cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities Scallop Circles (a new toy). All card stock and DSP are from SU.

Here is another card with the same set. Both cards were embossed on watercolor paper, one in gold the other with Enchanted Gold. The red poinsettia is one layer, colored with different SU re-inkers. The pink poinsettia is two layers separated with pop-dots, also colored with SU re-inkers. Two different looks with the same stamp set...you gotta love it!
