Control Freaks

Control Freaks Swap

October 8, 2008 By Connie | 1 Comment

This was my Swap card for the Control Freak Swappers last time (New Catty). I chose Snow Swirled because it is one of my favorite new ones in this catalog! I love to decorate with snowmen and snowflakes, so a tree made from snowflakes works well for me!

I embossed the tree on Whisper White with Gold EP and then separately embossed the snowflakes with Silver EP. I punched out the snowflakes with my 1/2 circle punch and adhered them to the tree. The tree is cut out and placed on the Bigz Top Note die cut out of Brushed Silver. The Verse is stamped with Basic Black and shows up much better in person. I wrapped some White Taffeta Ribbon around it. I stamped some larger snowflakes in Baja Breeze on the Baja Breeze cardstock and layered everything on a base card of Whisper White.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I JUST NOTICED!!! UGH!!! I forgot to put the Brushed Gold punched small stars on the top of the trees for my swaps!!! Oh no! Sorry Control Freaks! My sample one has it, but not the ones I sent. GRRRRRR!!!!! Oh well!

I’m out of town all day tomorrow, so I’ll catch you again on Friday for the Blogger’s Challenge!
