FFC10

Hi there! It's time for another Festive Friday challenge. This is very last minute, but I was at a bit of a loss as to what to do for a retro theme. I don't have much in the way of Christmas stamps that have a real retro look except for an ornament set I've already used for a couple of previous Festive Friday challenges, that I wasn't feeling inspired to use this time around. I'm all about snowflakes, and haven't used those recently, so decided to play around with that theme.

 

This daylight shot shows more true colors. This shade of blue has a 60's feel to me, possibly because it reminds me of the bathroom fixtures my Aunt used to have in her first house!  I used a new pewter embossing powder for a more antique-y look, but was surprised at how silver it turned out. I had imagined it would be a bit darker. Oh, well. I swiped a bit or grey around the edges to age the raised panel a bit. It's difficult to see in this light, but the white snowflakes are embossed with a cool powder that has silver glitter mixed in with it. A few rhinestones add a bit more sparkle.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by,
