Merry Monday #58


Hi friends.  Today's card was inspired by Merry Monday challenge.  I had been drawing a blank on the sketch for this week but it finally came to me this morning.  It is hard to tell in the photograph but I used versamark on the vanilla layer and then Iridescent Ice Embossing powder over the whole thing.  It sure does sparkle in real life.   Here is the sketch:


Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Cardstock:  Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede
Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Versamark
Stamps:  Snowflake Soiree, Perfect Punches (SU)
Accessories:  Scallop circle punch, circle punch, Banner trio die (SU), Iridescent Ice Embossing powder, rhinestone
