Joyful Snowflake

I blended my 3 favorite Distress Oxide ink colors, Fossilized Amber, Ripe Persimmon and Candied Apple, starting in the center with the lightest shade and moved outward to the darkest.

I then took the paper and put it into a Darcie snowflake embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot.

I ran a white ColorBox pigment ink over the raised areas so they would stand out. 

I cut the Sizzix snowflake out of heavy white cardstock and then cut it again in fun foam so I could easily pop it. I used Wink of Stella on the snowflake for a little shimmer.  The beautiful Joyful die is by Simon Says Stamp. I cut it 2x in kraft, once in gold cardstock. The matching shadow die I cut from silver glitter cardstock.
