I LOVE the elegance of this cupcake and I tried to capture some of it. I took inspiration from the pale blue, white and silver colors and the snowman image. I used my Kissmas and Mistletoe set from {ippity} stamps. I embossed the snowman and sentiment with silver EP and added some silver sequins with tiny green rhinestones from a Zva Creative wheel.The DP is Basic Grey, Eskimo Kisses and I used my beloved Swiss Dots EF. I hope you all will never get tired of me using that folder -LOL! The snowflakes are punched out, edged with silver craft ink and also added silver sequins with blue Zva rhinestones.
Hopefully you can get a better look at the close-up picture.
Since I had lots of scraps and nesties out on my desk, I did another! This one is a Christmas thank you card using the tree image from Kissmas & Mistletoe (also embossed in silver) and the sentiment is from Verve's new Celebration of Thanks set. I took a better picture this morning, you can tell the outer circle is SHINY SILVER! I recycled the sides of an old gift bag!
BTW, can you tell I am addicted to circle cards ? LOL!
