Love them both...very nice. I had stopped making cards for several years. Apparently, I had forgotten how to emboss. I used my heat gun to emboss card stock on top on my very large cutting mat. Now I own a very large very warped cutting mat!

Great use of that wonderful snowflake stamp! Love the silver embossing (always so hard to photograph, isn't it?). And the bit of stamping on the card base is perfect to add extra interest.

What beautiful coverage you have on your background. I love the little snowflakes and watermarks as a backdrop to your gorgeous, silver snowflake. This is such a great card idea!

This is a pretty artsy snowflake, Christine! The embossing makes it so elegant!

Gorgeous snowflake ... it really stands out on your beautiful deep blue background, Christine. Love the silver stamping in the background and your font of your sentiment. Fantastic card! xx

Snowflakes are fun and this card is so representative. Love the angled rectangle piece which matches the artsy snowflake. A happy place ...in my heart xx

I thought you made a mistake with the silver because your snowflake looked like copper in your first pic. *lol*😂 But then your second close up pic captured how shiny and beautiful your silver snowflake is especially against the navy blue. Great card. xx

What a cool snowflake and a very pretty card! It reminds me of the kind of wet snow we get here occasionally. Splat! Love this!

Wow, I feel like the beautiful dark blue background pulls me into a different world, Christine! I love it! The silver heat-embossed snowflake is so shiny and the thin black trim gives definition.

So beautiful Christmas card, Christine. I love the contrast between the base and the colored panel in a black frame. And it's gentle sponging on the edges ... Amazing!
