Lots of lovely layers

It's coming to that time of year again, and no matter how much I want to bury my head in the sand and pretend that Christmas isn't just under 5 weeks away I need to put on my big girl pants and face facts. Now I stopped making all my Christmas cards years ago as I found it was too much pressure to make them all and I wasn't prepared to start making Christmas cards while I was still thinking of summer holidays, so now I only make a handful of cards for very special people and that allows me to put more time and effort into each one.
 
For this card I used  Here Comes Santa from IndigoBlu, available from Clare Curd Crafts.

 
I applied the FlitterGlu to the edges of the base card and then got a good layer of the flakes to cover the glue.
Then edged some black card, one of which I embossed, with silver embossing powder and layered these up.
 
 
 
Next I stamped the snowflake border in the FlitterGlu and covered it in the flakes, and mounted that onto a strip of black card and applied off to one side.
The tree was stamped and embossed in silver and mounted onto 3D pad, and the sentiment was tucked behind.
