On today's card I am featuring Brutus Monroe's Gilded Ultra Fine Embossing Powder & Vellum with Simon Says Stamp Merry Christmas Clear Stamp which I have used to create my sentiment. In real life the heat embossed embossing powder is really metallic and has some pretty sparkle in it too but my photo hasn't picked that up very well unfortunately.

I've created a simple background using Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow Stencil with Snowflake Paste & then ink blended Simon Says Stamps White Pigment Ink over it to soften the look. I foam mounted my background before adding it to my card & I added a few Simply White Crystal Drops randomly onto some of the falling snow & a lovely Prima Flower to finish.

Other supplies used - 

Simon Says Stamp Embossing Ink Pad,  Tacky Glue, Kraft Card Stock, Scor-Pal, Teflon Bone Folder, Palette Knife , Heat Tool,

 Double Sided Tape,  Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer

I have created two cards featuring Brutus Monroe's Gilded Ultra Fine Embossing Powder & my Simon Says Stamp January Card Kit.

I lightly blended Tumbled Glass Distress Ink  over my card stock and once dry stamped some of the pretty snowflakes from Snowflake Builder stamp set using my SSS embossing ink pad & sprinkled on the embossing powder & heat embossed them. I also stamped more snowflakes using Simon Says Stamps Fog Gray & Surf Blue Ink Pads & then highlighted some areas with a Sakura white gel pen.

I die cut a Mini Snowflake Mandala from the same SSS card kit using Gold Glitter card stock & I also heat embossed a banner & sentiment from the Snowflake Builder stamp set which I fussy cut before adding to my card.

My second card is very similar I just added some  Broken China Distress Ink in places to my background, the pretty SSS Merry Christmas sentiment stamp and a Prima flower & twine.

 Other supplies used - 

Treasure Chest Sequins, Die cutting machine, Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Tim Holtz Stamping Platform, Tonic Scissors, SSS Tacky Glue, SSS Black card stock, Heat Tool,  White Gel Pen,
