Warm Winter Wishes & Fiskars

After watching Andrea create a card this week at Paper Crafter's Library, I was inspired to make this card. I used a die-cut/letterpress to create the image in the center and wrote the sentiment with a marker.  I used an embossing plate to emboss the snowflake background directly onto the card base then added the ribbon, gems and center piece.  I was striving for elegance but didn't quite reach the level of elegance that Andrea created with her beautiful card. Here's Andrea's elegant card:

Supplies:
