May your Holidays Sparkle

I was having fun playing with some Distress Oxides and then I decided to use some for this sketch. They are not the traditional colors for Christmas, but that's was intrigued me. I also found some ribbon that I had recycled from a gift. I dry embossed the white background and then pulled out some snowflake die cuts and put a pearl in the center of the smaller ones. Then used a My Favorite Things Christmas Sentiment that I have had for quite sometime as a freebie set.

I think you're spectacular

I am doing some cleaning and I am finding that I have LOTS of rubber and cling stamps; however, I tend to mostly use digital.  I have inks in every color which I don't use that often so I thought I really need to pull these out because I have invested in them as well as that they are adorable.  I pulled out some of "My Favorite Things" stamps and used it for this card.
