Simple Embossed Snowflake card

 

🥳 🎂🎉 Belated Birthday Wishes Gina  🎉🎂🥳

Good Morning Ladies, 

Firstly an apology to our Gina, I write Sundays post as I get everyone's Cards during the week,  so it totally  didn't occur to me last Wednesday to add your birthday message,  I am so sorry my lovely x   I hope that you had an amazing birthday and that your were spoilt by your family.   I will say from experience that belated birthday wishes & cards are a great way to extend the celebrations 🎉    I think that you have to post cards more than a week before their birthday for it to stand a chance of arriving on time, even with First class postage,  for example I posted Karen's card 5 days before her birthday, used first class postage and it was 3 days late!  Its infuriating given the cost of postage.  Rest assured your card is on it's way my lovely XXX 

Today's card was a quick card as Lucy and I had a long afternoon trying different methods of stamping and embossing the wedding invitations 🙄😔.  We did make progress and got some almost perfect !!  It was 6pm by the time I sat back at my desk.

I took a piece of 'Core-dinations' card, do you remember that from back in the day?? It's textured card with a coloured core,  these are Tim Holtz ones, so I guess that's chipped sapphire,  I ran it through a Spellbinders Snowflake embossing folder and then used a Sanding block to reveal the colour beneath,  it wasn't really showing so I took a Silver ink pad with the back of a piece of cut and dry foam, its really firm so makes it easier to glide over the embossing. After adding the silver ink, I added a piece of silver & white ribbon, I stamped a sentiment and die cut it with a label die, and tucked it into the ribbon & bow.  I added a few sparkles to the centres of the snowflakes to finish the card. 

I hope that you all have a good day,  

Love & hugs,

Sandra xxx
