One Layer Wednesday on Thursday

For the record, yes, I was confused about the name of this stamp set.  It is Northern Hearts not Northern Lights.  I think I need to get my eyes checked!  I keep hoping my vision, or lack of it, is due to sinus and hate to get my eyes checked when it will straighten out anyway.  Enough about my eyesight!

I used the snowflakes from the Northern Hearts set for the One Layer Wednesday challenge on Simplicity.  This week's challenge is Three plus One.  Do three images plus one sentiment.

Since I just got this set, and there were three snowflakes, I just had to try a card using them.

I stamped the snowflakes with Whisper White Craft ink and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.

To add a bit of color, I chose to stamp the sentiment in Real Red.

The card needed a bit more.  Everything was just sort of hanging there.  So I used a stylus and my cutting board and scored a couple of lines on two sides.  I scored at 1/2" & 3/4".  To make the lines show up better, I sponged them with Whisper White ink using an eyeshadow applicator.  I didn't do a very good job of staying on the lines but I thought it gave the impression of blowing snow.  Tee hee, my imagination is good, huh?

Three different sizes of pearls adorn the snowflakes.  I love all the sizes in the pearl & rhinestone assortments that Stampin' Up! offers now.  It's always a tough decision whether to use pearls or rhinestones!
