Snowflake Kisses in Basic Gray

 

Snowflake Kisses Bundle + Soft Waves Embossing Folder

Today's Monochromatic Insta Hop color is Basic Gray.  While planning this card, I envisioned the look of snowflakes swirling on the wind.  I loved layering the snowflake die cuts with vellum.  It really softened the white snowflakes on the Basic Gray.  

Snowflake Kisses Bundle + Soft Waves Embossing Folder

This card has a little bit of a flirty element between the outer sentiment and the inner sentiment.  (Be sure to check it out )

To create the inner snowflake, I die cut 1 out of the message liner, then added the Basic Gray matte layer behind so that it peeks out.

Sunflower in Distressed Cajun Craze

Sunflower Embossing Folder + 2 Tone Cajun Craze Cardstock

The 2 tone cardstock pairs so very perfectly with the 3D Sunflower Embossing Folder.  Because the 2 Tone paper has a white core, it is lightly exposed after embossing.  Here I used an emery board to expose a bit more and the flower petals.
