I was lucky to win this lovely 'Snowflake Serenade' stamp set in the Uniko 'Christmas in July' challenge and teamed it with my 'Big Bold Wish' stamp and die to make this Christmas card.

To make this card I used:
7" x 5" white matt card blank
Uniko 'Snowflake Serenade' stamp
Uniko 'Big Bold Wish' stamps and coordinating die
Versafine Majestic Blue and Brilliance Pearlescent Sky Blue inks
Woodware Snowflake punch
Snippets of white matt card and silver mirri
I trimmed a piece of white matt card to 6.25" x 4.25" and stamped the large snowflake stamp in pale blue ink. I stamped 'wish' onto a snippet of white matt card, stamping several times to get a good depth of colour before cutting it with the coordinating die. I die cut the 'wish' outline from a snippet of silver mirri and layered the two die cuts. I placed the snowflake panel into my MISTI with 'wish' in the lower corner so I could see where to stamp 'Make a'. I removed the die cut and stamped the rest of the sentiment in dark blue ink, stamping a couple of times so the letters had the same depth of colour as 'wish'. I then layered the panel onto silver mirri and attached it to the card front. I attached 'wish' to the lower corner but didn't think the card looked balanced, so I punched three small snowflakes from another snippet of silver mirri and attached them to the upper corner.

This is a very pretty stamp Kath and a great win over at Uniko. I love it stamped the mid blue with the darker blue stamped and die cut 'Wish' and the added silver mirri punched snowflakes are a lovely finishing touch and complement the silver background layer. x
