Nostalgic Christmas by Julie Lavalette

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today. This week our Challenge is Non Traditional Christmas Colours and I thought it would be fun to join in.

All my die cuts on my card were heat embossed with different powders from Sparkly ones to Glossy ones. My main image I sprinkled a little White Powder for a snowy effect and heat embossed around the edges to frame my image, mounting onto a little Cheesecloth.

My Snowflowers are layered in two different shades and I trimmed the top die cut layer at the outer points of the Snowflake to give a graduation effect on my Snowflower adding a Gum Drop to the centre.

My Deer were heat embossed with a Glossy Powder and mounted onto a pink shade of cardstock at their bodies, I then trimmed around the outline of my deer.  This made my Deer pop on the design and easy to cut around with having a raised surface.

I tattered the edges with my scissors adding some Distress Ink and Glitter Embossing powder to the edges.
