Christmas stamp a stack, part 2, Project 3

Happy Birthday to me!!  Hope you are enjoying a piece of cake somewhere...preferably red velvet with creme cheese frosting...yum!!
Today I am sharing a sweet little card we made.   This card hinges at the top.


The idea was to have snowflakes scattered on the blue card stock but I tried three different bottles of bleach - one was brand new - but none of them showed the snowflakes well.  I suspect it was the card stock that created the problem.  We could have used white craft ink or white embossing powder but the room was full so it was awkward to move around too much and everyone was banging out lots of cards so we really didn't have room to let the craft ink dry without smudges  .Anyway, I still think it is a sweet card.  The window is an old red sizzix die from yesteryear.  It was called "window, sunshine".  There is a little jingle bell where the stocking attaches to the window.  We used retired silver coring - it slid through the hole in the bell easier than other options.  The highlights on the stocking were punched from the silver glitter paper.  Nice card!
