I love it when a card just falls together. I knew I wanted to use this image, and I knew which die I wanted to use for the aperture to begin with. Using the snowflake EF was a last minute decision that worked out perfectly, with the red base caed for contrast. I used a ton of foam tape to hold up the embossed layer, but it's not super thick tape, so hopefully this will mail easily.

ReplyDeleteSo true, Sandy! It's wonderful when an idea works perfectly for a design, and this is an excellent example of that! That snowflake-rejoicing snowman is ideal for the aperture and the embossed snowflakes bring the story full circle! Hugs, Darnell
