Handmade Snowflakes

Hi  all -- time for day two of Flourishes fabulous sneak peeks for October! Today, it's all about the whimsy of those winter months when the temperature drops and the flakes start to fly!

I stamped the various snowflakes in embossing ink and used white embossing powder to add some texture and dimension.  I went very CAS for this card, as I was trying not to cover up the pretty snowflakes.  I used a Navy cardstock for my layer below the stamped aqua cardstock.
