X-traordinary Snowflakes

We are now up to the letter 'X' in Beccy's Place 30 Days of Christmas Cards.  

I've selected one of Sweet 'N Sassy's older stamps, Snowflakes Flourish. I thought this was a good selection since each snowflake is X-ceptionally perfect and never duplicated.  No matter how many billions of them fall from the sky, there are never two the same... and our eyes only see the snowflake as a white dot of snow. 



I selected the light blue striped paper for the card background.  It has small white dots through the paper and I thought would be great with this large stamp.  

After trimming to fit the 5 x 7 card base, I lined up the snowflake stamp on the right and the sentiment (from the same stamp set) on the left.   I used Versa Clair Blue Belle ink for this process. 

After securing this piece to the card base, I added the white snowflake buttons and then made a nice big dark blue organza bow at the fold.  I'd like to do this one again and emboss the stamp.  

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.

    Your card is X-ceptionally beautiful Pam... love your take on the prompt!
    The flourish of snowflakes is gorgeous, what a lovely stamp. It was a great idea to use blue ink on the light blue paper, the monochromatic look is wonderful.
    Cheers,
    Beccy
