Can't Sleep...

so I might as well stamp!! I have NO CLUE why I am still up, and I am pretty certain that 7am is gonna come at the same time no matter how long I sleep....awesome(not). I decided that I would go ahead and do a card for the Inspiration challenge on SCS, even though I REALLY need to be cleaning, or sleeping, or SOMETHING else...oh well-that's the story behind all stampers, right? Since I REALLY need to get to bed, I am gonna make this short and sweet. I chose this picture as my inspiration...honestly, I didn't end up where I originally intended, but the tree is still there, LOL!! I stamped the tree from Season of Friendship with Versamark and then embossed it with Sterling Silver EP. The snowflakes were stamped with Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, and Encore Silver. I then sponged the edges, added some glitter(which you can't really see in the picture), and then sponged the edges with Night of Navy ink. The ribbon is some retired Navy organdy and the snowflake is one of my Walmart finds. The sentiment is from Circle of Friendship and it is layered with NoN and BB, as well as some silver from the DCWV Metallic stack. The base is the same colors, but the Whisper White was run through my Cuttlebug with the snowflakes folder. I did add some wide Bashful Blue ribbon to the bottom too. At the base of the tree, I added a small strip of liquid applique to make it look like snow. Overall, I am pleased with this card...what do you think? Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
