Wednesday Stamper - Snowflakes

This week's theme on Wednesday Stamper is Snowflakes. I've made an ATC for this, which I've called Snowy Days. I've used a printed and cut out vintage Christmas card image of a girl throwing snowballs and mounted it onto a tile which I made firstly by inking with distress inks, then covering with three layers of clear UTEE with some silver embossing powder around the edges, and then stamping into it with a snowflake stamp. (And yes, I forgot to cut out the bit between her feet. I've cut it out now and it looks much better, but it's too dark to take a new photo!) I also used distress inks for the background, stamped snowflakes onto it in white pigment ink and embossed them with holographic powder. Then I added some silver embossing powder aroud the edges. The big snowflake at the bottom is stamped in white ink on navy blue card and embossed with holographic powder. (As you can probably imagine, both the snowflake and the background are a lot more shimmery and sparkly in real life.) Finally I added the gems down the side and the printed words.
