Seize the Birthday #318 and AAA Birthday #81

Today's card is for two challenges.  Seize the Birthday has the topping of "Make your own snowflake background" and AAA Birthday wants a winter birthday card.  Easy Peasy.


It's been a while since I've used a Concord and 9th Turnabout.  In fact I had to look at a video to remember how to do it.  I stamped it three turns using VersaMark ink and white pearl embossing powder on Blueberry.  Even though it's called white pearl it looks silvery when embossed.  'Winter' from TH was cut from white glitter cardstock and the Hero Arts sentiment was white heat embossed on Blueberry scraps and cut apart.  I have plenty of winter birthdays so this will come in handy.

ETA:  This card also qualifies for the Shine/Shiny challenge at Inkspirational so I'm sending it there after my friend Carol begged asked me to.  😁

Thanks for dropping by and sharing part of your day with me.

Hi, Bobby! I love your turnabout snowflakes - perhaps they look silver from the navy? Just as pretty from my view!
I've been seeing your cards and finally feel human enough to let you know I've been here!

Very pretty! I do love the color of embossing powder, it really pops on the dark background. It will be loved

These silvery snowflakes look gorgeous on the deep blue, Bobby! Just the right amount of sentiment without covering up the pretty background!
