It's a rainy Monday

here in Northern Jersey..pouring rain, thunder and lightning and I love it!  Hopefully it will cool things down some, but I'm not overly optimistic.  Well, Christmas card season started this week in the Ostrowski scraproom,  and right away I reached for the "Season of Joy" kit to create this following card.  The background is stamped with a SU! background stamp on green cardstock, then I embossed a Studio 490 splatter stamp with tacky powder and applied crystal loose glitter for a glimmery snowflake effect.  Lots of distress inks to give this a worn look, a bit of krylon edging and tada...done!




Don't forget to check the {ippity} blog for the full listing of h{ippity} hop participants, and have a wonderful week everyone!

Very nice holiday card. I like the simplicity of the design made fancy by the lacy border and shaped sentiment.
