Merry Monday #97 - Use Aqua, Silver and White

Hey everyone, it's Monday and that means time for another fun challenge at Merry Monday!  This week's theme is to make a Christmas card using the colors Aqua, Silver and White.  There are so many gorgeous possibilities with this color combination!



I used my Cameo to cut the Santa and Sleigh out of white cardstock, then I sprayed him with a spray adhesive and covered him in Rock Candy Distress Glitter, that stuff is sooo pretty!  I used ink to create an ombre look on the patterned paper, then added the score lines.  I just love the way silver embossing powder looks, especially on vellum and it shows a little better below. :)



Here's the inspiration photo:
