A Tip from Barb
Don’t have a Cut & Emboss Machine for the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder? Don’t let that hold you back from making this card? Just leave the Embossing off and the card is still gorgeous! Prefer some texture? Before adhering the White cardstock to the card base, crumple it up in your hand and then smooth it out and adhere to the cardstock. It’ll add some subtle texture for a fun look!

I used embossed vellum instead of white card stock. Both look very nice
