For my Christmas project today, I used the snowflake from the new Sparky & Friends cling set!
I don't emboss very much these days, so I decided to dust off the ole' embossing powder and give it a whirl! I stamped them on Inchie Squares with Versamark and then embossed 2 in silver and 2 in gold. I inked each Inchie square in brown ink to age it a bit. I pierced the perimeter of the four squares and hand sewed it using silver and gold thread. The images were matted with gold paper using the Scalloped Squares Spellbinder's die. I then matted that on black glittery paper using the Lacey Squares Spellbinder's die. I stamped the sentiment using the Sparky the Snowman Cling set.
I stamped the sentiment using the Sparky the Snowman Cling set. I cut it out using the Tags Trio Spellbinder's die. I tied it around the snowflakes with silver ribbon and gold cording. I love the look of the nontraditional colors!
