I thought this sentiment from Yuletide Greetings was the perfect match, embossed in silver on vellum. To finish I added a few clear rhinestones to the centers of my snowflakes.
Thanks for visiting today! Have a great weekend!

Faux Embossing
I have been waiting for my Penny Black Snowflake Trio dies to arrive and when they did, I was not disappointed! I immediately cut out 3 sets of them in white, and then tried a few of them with this silver glitter paper. It was a tad touchy (this particular glitter paper is VERY thick and the dies are VERY delicate), but with some extra paper shims, I had success! I decided to use them on a simple card that appears to be embossed, but it is just a white base with the snowflakes glued tightly on.
