Snowflake Christmas thank you

 *************************************
Hi everyone!  My card today uses supplies from the Simon Says Stamp January card kit.  This is my second kit and I have to say I am in love with this one!  I made a commitment to myself to post at least twice from each kit and I think this month you may more.

After Christmas, I like to focus on Christmas thank you cards.  I love to send Christmas thank yous not only because thank you cards are a dying tradition, but it's a chance to STILL use my adorable Christmas papers, stamps and dies!!  And let's face it, I'm not quite ready to put these away!

Today's card uses Spellbinders' fabulous 2013 Snowflake Pendant and Bracket Borders One die sets along with goodies from the kit.
OK, so part of the kit was Perfect Pearls.  At first I was disappointed because I don't really delve into technique type things and I've never used them before.  So I posted on Facebook for advise and was amazed at all the response and ways to use them!  I gave them a try and stamped my sentiment and heart accent with a black pigment ink and dabbed the purple Perfect Pearls on top.  It turned out really pretty!  It's hard to tell in the picture, but here is a close up that shows a bit of the purple sheen.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

  9. I think the sentiment looks marvelous! Great job stretching to try a new technique. I could do for some of that kind of stretching too!
