CAS Christmas July Reminder - Snowflake

Hi everyone.  This is the reminder post for the July Snowflake challenge at CAS Christmas.


And this is my CAS card.


I purchased a laminator in February to do some foiling and am finally trying it now.  My husband beat me to it and used it once to laminate a sheet.  The snowflake was heat embossed with clear embossing powder on Whisper White cardstock then foiled with Iridescent Deco Art foil.  I tried to capture the shine in the photo below.


I was planning to negative foil the sentiment to match, but my laminator quit working!  Very frustrating since this is my first time using it.  So instead, the sentiment was white heat embossed then ombre coloured with Faded Jeans, Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass distress inks.  Added a Crystal Clear confetti circle to the centre of the snowflake to finish.


There is one week left to enter the challenge.  If you need more inspiration, check out what our guest Jane (Onions and Paper) and my team have created over on the challenge blog HERE.  Thank you for visiting.

That is the perfect foil for your snowflake and it is gorgeous. Electronics can be so stubborn and only work when they want to. What a shame for it to act up so soon!

I love this card! That is so gorgeous. I tried a year or so ago to foil using embossing powder, but it didn't work well for me. I wonder what I did wrong on my attempt? :)
