Swirling Snowflakes for CAS Christmas

Hello crafty friends.  It's time for a new challenge at
CAS Christmas


Another view


I'm hosting CAS Christmas this month.


I stamped this Impression Obsession snowflake flourish on mixed media paper
with Whisper White ink and  heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

I wet the background and dropped in some liquid watercolor adding
more close to the image.

It was a lot easier to do the watercolor than to get a good photo!

I'm also adding to
Jingle Belles Challenge
SNOW MUCH FUN


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

The flourished snowflakes are in harmony with that Blue BG, I can feel the wind blurring everything around. I can see where the Warm Wishes definitely work for this beauty. xx

Great watercolor card. I have the impression that these flakes are really spinning and I hear a whistling wind. Great card, amazing inspiration
