In addition, I have a Snowy Day Card that I created for an inspirational Abstract Challenge at SCS
The same card but photographed in different lighting...
The bottom of the card is sponged in platinum and gray pigment inks for
depth and an abstract feel. The Background was dry embossed with dots
folder then snowflakes die-cuts were added for additional texture and
keeping the Festive Collection snowflake theme throughout.
