Beautiful Snow by Jenny Gropp

"Jenny Gropp share a stunning die cut snowflake card using DIE024-X Snowflake Die Set, DIE100-F small Snowflake Set, DIE093-X Large Snowflake, Border Duo 2 Set and CL495 Snow Clear Set

by Jenny Gropp for Impression Obsession

'I just love the Snowflake Dies from IO! The new largest snowflake IO released cuts all sorts of beautiful and intricate layers. BUT today I just embossed it on the main panel. I used a thicker paper to prevent it from cutting all the way through.

You can see the impression after embossing the large snowflake. The other two die cut snowflakes will get stacked on top and secured with a brad.

I added more snow flake pieces on the inside of the card.  The sentiment I used is from the NEW Snow Clear Set.
