The showcase stamp set of the week is Snow Swirled.  The card featured today was made by Pam Crane, one of my Stampin' Crew and a long time stamper.  She made this for one of our Christmas Card Swaps.

I love the variety of snowflakes in this set.  Pam used Glossy White Card Stock, then sponged on Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue ink for the background.  

Here's a little closer look.  After stamping on Glossy Card Stock, give it a little extra time to dry.  

Supplies used:

Snow Swirled stamp set #127799
Basic Black, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery and Marina Mist ink.
Marina Mist, Basic Black and Glossy White card stock
Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Eyelet Border Punch (retired)

For those of you who missed out, here's a photo of the Advent Calendar Box we made last week.

We used the 25 & Counting stamp set.
