Hello friends!
but this stamp set "Snowbursts" (Penny Black) is just too lovely to be ignored.
I love creating cards with stamps like this. They are so detailed and intricate-looking. You can't really go wrong with them. Mind you, I used only ONE stamp (top left) from this set. Can you imagine what a field day that will be if I used them all?
"Embossing is more than just embossing. It can be an embellishment!".
See those glitter on the snowflakes? They are embossed in Glitter Embossing Powder. So easy! Why didn't do that more often? Some of you might feel the same way!!?
These days, I like to think of more ways to use embossing powder. Because let's face it: are we really maximize the power of embossing powder? You bought the clear one, colored one and the glitter ones and those tantalizing textured ones. Are you using them enough?
And oh.... those Nuvo Crystal Droplets are the new kids in town for embellishments. I am amazed how round they stayed after applying. So cool.

My card is nothing too special as I used the usual techniques such as Layered Stamping, Generational Stamping, and Emboss Resist. However, I had a epiphany moment as I write this post...

WOW Virginia. Your embossing is spectacular. Awesome card.
Love the stamping and the varied embossing powders, Virginia! The Nuvo drops are beautiful as is the background.
This is really gorgeous Virginia! I love intricate snowflake images and these are so beautifully done. AND you are absolutely right about embossing powders, they are an embellishment. That is what kicks up the WOW factor on most cards!
So beautiful!
Wow! So beautiful! I love the blended background.
Gorgeous! What a true representation of winter!
Awesome card. It is so peaceful. I really liked what you said about embossing being an embellishment. I am going to use more of my glitter powder. Thanks
Beautiful snowflake background, Virginia! Those Nuvo crystals add a lot!!
I thought I had every snowflake that I could ever want but I think your stunning card may prove me wrong and those beautiful color choices just perfect.
Who cares if it's too early for snow...this is a feast for the eyes. The various colors and generational stamping just suck one to dream for white Christmas with you. Gorgeous...love the deep blue one more than I can say.
I am not looking forward to snow; however, your beautiful card reminded me that 'snow' can be lovely. Your colors are excellent.
Gorgeous card Virginia.

Your snowflakes are absolutely gorgeous, and I love the font on this sentiment! Such an elegant Christmas card, Virginia!
This card is fantastic!!!
STUNNING AND STUNNING!!!!
Such a beautiful. I was facetiming Carol today (from Canada) and we were talking about how we missed seeing your beautiful creations and missed you on StampNation.
This card is stunning, and I thought about your question and I do emboss a little during the year mostly sentiments but during the Christmas Holidays I emboss everything.
