As I sit here in my green and white striped sweatshirts that says the word “jolly” in bright, bold red lettering, I am finally giving into the holiday season … which is perfect since this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday Challenge is “Holly Jolly Christmas”!
Nothing evokes the spirit of a holly jolly Christmas quite like a winter white snowstorm, so that is where I got my inspiration!
I stamped several snowflakes from Delicate Pines in Versamark on some Basic White cardstock. After heat setting them with White Embossing Powder, I used my Blending Brushes to smooth some color over them from top to bottom - Balmy Blue, Lost Lagoon and Pool Party.
.
I cut out the backdrop with an Everyday Arches Die and then split it into five horizontal pieces.
The easy part was adding the snowflakes I cut using the Delicate Pines Dies … the top one is also brushed a splattered with a little ink.
Lastly, a few Low Profile Sparkle Dots (my new “go to”) finished it up. Except for the sentiment, which I stamped in Pretty Peacock and then just did a little fussy cutting around.

It’s two more days until Thanksgiving here in the good ol’ U-S of A. Which means the cooking will most definitely be starting TODAY!! My favorite part of Thanksgiving is being with family … but the food is a close second!
