With this card, I am playing along with Diane's HYCCT1509 challenge to create a card that doesn't need extra postage.
I heat embossed the new Winter Blessings stamp from Sweet N Sassy then used the Wrinkle Free Distress technique for the background. One thing I love about this stamp is that it measures 5 1/2" square and fits an A2 card without repositioning!
One of the frustrations I have had in the past when using a large stamp is that I might not get versamark ink over the entire stamp and I've never been able to precisely reposition the stamp over the first stamping but with the MISTI it's a breeze! I stamped once then reapplied versamark and stamped again before applying the embossing powder.

Wow - gorgeous colors! The snowflake background embossed in white is fantastic. The black edging and sentiment is striking and completes the card nicely. This is awesome. Thanks for all you do to support HYCCT and for doing my challenge. Your card is beautiful.

Gorgeous swirly snow storm! Those purples and blues are so pretty behind your bright white snowflakes. This is an eye catching card and no denying! :-) Love it!
