My card features the beautiful Fancy Scandi Snowflake stamp set with the coordinating dies and stencils.  Also new is this gorgeous Pine & Berries 3D embossing folder.  (All supplies are in the links below.)

First I stamped the Fancy Scandi Snowflake image with clear embossing ink onto two panels of white cardstock.  I added silver embossing powder to both and heat set it.  Then I cut it out one snowflake with the largest coordinating Fancy Scandi Snowflake die.  I die cut the other snowflake with the smaller die and the inner circle die.

I put the large snowflake onto a sticky mat and then inked two shades of pink ink through three of the Fancy Scandi Snowflake stencils layers.  For the final, and largest layer, I used a pallet knife to spread some pretty pink texture paste.  I repeated these steps for the other two snowflake die cuts.  I set them aside to dry.

For the card base and layer, first I inked around the edges of an A2 card base with the same ink I used on the Fancy Scandi Snowflake.  Then I embossed white cardstock with the Pine & Berries 3D embossing folder.  I trimmed it to 4" x 5-¼" and glued it to the card.

I glued the large Fancy Scandi Snowflake to the card.  Then I popped up the other two layers with foam adhesive.

Then sentiment is also in the Fancy Scandi Snowflake stamp set.  I stamped it with embossing ink and heat embossed it with more silver embossing powder.  I die cut the sentiment with the coordinating Scandi Snowflake die.  I die cut it a second time from white cardstock, inked the edges, and glued it offset behind the embossed sentiment.  The sentiment is also popped up with foam adhesive.

I love that my lighting was just right to capture all of the fabulous shimmer and shine of my pink holiday card with the Fancy Scandi Snowflake!!
