Today's share was made with a man in mind, inspired by something I saw last year on Pinterest
and uses a stamp I won in a challenge.
Blue base card layered with white linen textured card which had been given the treatment with a snowflake embossing folder!
Blue snowy patterned paper at the bottom and a strip of punched snowflakes over the join.
The 'Old Truck' stamp comes with flowers and grass so this posed a bit of a problem - not a lot of floral greenery here in the Winter!
I used some tinselly twinkly white embossing powder - and held my breath as I wasn't sure it would cover all the floral fancy round the base and in the back.... but it did!
Then put some more onto the body of the truck in an attempt to make it look like it had been snowed in for some time - was quite pleased with the result.
Added some glossy accents on the windscreen and headlamps which doesn't show up very well inj the pic.
Cut it out with a nestie and popped it onto a blue scalloped nestie oval. Finished off with my fave snowflake die and some blingy gems.

Love the truck, makes a great man's card, and what a great idea to cover it with the glittery white embossing. The snowflake die is gorgeous - it would go nicely with that lovely snowflake corner I have just won.
