Joyful Snowflake

 Hi~

After watching Mindy Eggen's video on the blackout embossing technique, I just had to try it as blue is my favorite color. She used dark blue instead of black. So here is my card CASEing hers.

In this photo, the colors look dark aqua and pink, but in real life my card is SU Blueberry Bushel and retired Bashful Blue with a touch of Disress Oxide Seedless Preserves which came out looking pink. So I ran with that for my focal point and sentiment strip.

I started with chosing an embossing folder. This one is an older SU one, but I don't know the name. If anyone knows it, please leave a comment. The e f pushed down on the colored paper so when I dragged the darker blue pad acrossit it the backfround and some areas became colored. A magical technique! 

The pink star was cut from Pretty In Pink c.s. with a die from the old So Many Snowflakes die set and I added a dot from my stash. The sentiment is from redired Peacful Moments SU set.

My first holiday card for this season. I like it. Texture, blue and pink, how can one go wrong! :-)

It is getting colder here late this week, but that is okay by me.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again.
