Addicted to Red and White!

That's the challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More and this is the perfect time of year for it!  I decided to go along with the Clean and Simple Holiday Card at SUO Challenges when I was working on my card. 
The sentiment is from the set I got free at Regionals, Seasonal Sayings.  I am getting a lot of use out of this set!  I just love the variety of fonts.  For the snowflake background, I embossed Whisper White cardstock with Northern Flurry Embossing Folder.  I was going to just put dots of Red Dazzling Details on the snowflakes, but I accidentally smudged it.  A happy mistake though because I ended up just blending all of it with my finger and I love the outcome!  The ornament is stamped in Real Red ink, covered with the 2-Way Glue Pen and then Dazzling Diamonds.  Really easy to do and I think it really adds to the elegance of the card.

Stamp Sets: Ornament Keepsakes, Seasonal Sayings
Cardstock: Real Red, Red Glimmer, Whisper White
Ink: Real Red
Tools: Holiday Ornaments Framelits, Northern Flurry Embossing Folder
Accessories: Red Dazzling Details, Dazzling Diamonds, 2-Way Glue Pen, Dimensionals, Real Red Ribbon
