A little late, but here is my combo for today's WT challenge and yesterday's sketch.
The trees were stamped w/ white pigment ink and embossed w/ winter wonderland ep (white w/ silver glitter) on a piece of acetate. I now remember why I don't like embossing on acetate. No matter how many times I use the static pad, ep still sticks all over. I edged it w/ a white marker and stamped the greeting w/ white stazon (not going to make the embossing mistake again, lol). I used a ribbon punch on the sides and ran little pieces of ribbon thru it before attaching to a piece of dp. I used the MS snowflake border punch on another section of the dp and attached it to the bottom. Added the brads and a dk purple layer.
The three bg panels are sections of a big paint chip. I stamped the filigree snowflake w/ the foxglove ink across them then attached them to a darker section of the dp. Added a band at the bottom and attached to a white 5.5 x 4.25 card. The trees look very sparkly IRL but I couldn't really capture it w/o having the acetate totally blind you. So picture it, if you can, lol.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Yikes, Julie, if I ever woke up one day and started making cards just like you, I wouldnt want to give one of them away. They would become my stash for people to admire but not to have! This card is just spectacular w/that embossing and tree scene.
