Thank yous are always needed after the holidays so I thought I had better get started on those too. I used more glossy paper for this, I love this card but my family isn't so excited about it. Here is how I made it.
1. On a glossy panel 4" x 5 1/4" mask off some of the bottom with torn paper.
2. Brayer with stonewashed Adirondack ink and then sponge all four edges with denim Adirondack ink. Remove mask.
3. Stamp snowflake from Stampendous with black Brilliance and outline portions with a white gel pen.
4. Stamp thankful from Hero Arts at the bottom with black ink and apply snowflake stickers from Stampendous.
5. Then mount it to a folded glossy card.

Wow has this week has been hot so far! Yesterday it was 108 and today it was 104, at least it is starting to cool. I need to wash my car but when I go outside I feel like my skin is going to melt off!
This weekend my daughter and I are going to have a girls weekend with friends and go down to San Diego to go surfing, at least my daughter is, I'm not a fan of swimming in the cold ocean. We will be tent camping and this is only the second time I've slept in a tent, wish me luck!
Hope you all stay cool and have a good weekend.

very pretty, Jamie. 104? eeeekkkss, highest today was 98 and it was HOT and tomorrow it's supposed to rain :(
I love the card. It is funny how everyone sees things differently. It is 45 degrees here in NC this morning. We need to average out yours and my temps, and it would be a beautiful day. Have fun camping. Well any day spent with your children is a fun day.
This is really gorgeous!!! I live in Chicago.....and it has been only in the 50's.....a bit too cold...tooo early!

I love these snowflakes. Rarely have the real thing here, so have to see them vicariously! :)
The weather has been perfect here lately. Cool mornings and evenings, highs in the 80's!
I think this card is so pretty, and I'm glad you shared how it was made!

Beautiful Jamie, great snowflakes.
Beautiful card! Love the brayered background and the white highlights on the snowflakes really make them pop!
We're in the 70's, which for Canada is running close to an Indian Summer for October. I think I might melt at 104!
How pretty! Those snowflakes are so elegant!

This card is beautiful! I love how you stamped the one snowflake over the little "snow bank", also I love white gel pens, what would we do without them!?!
Man it is so hot by you!
WOW!
I am in the midwest and I just had to turn my heat up a smidge, mostly because we have an iguana and he was complaining! lol
Have a great weekend!

I think that snowflakes have an elegance... This card is so pretty!
Such a beautiful card! I love the snowy hills and night sky you created!! We lived in AZ for the last 2 winters, so no snow. I'm hoping to see some really snowy winters here in Korea before we move back to the desert! I've never looked forward to snow so much!!
hugs, Jami
How perfectly pretty! I like how your tore the paper and how the snowflakes look like they are falling! Grogeous.
