Snowflakes

I made this card for the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown 'Sketch' challenge.  I'm also entering Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge 'Quick and Easy', the Crafty Gals Corner 'Clean and Simple' challenge and the Crafty Calendar Challenge 'Add Texture and Ribbon'.  As the card was made with snippets I'm also heading into the playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.


7" x 5" white matt card blank
Cheery Lynn 'Snowflake Set 2'
Darice 'Snowflake Background' embossing folder
Red nailhead
Snippets of white matt card, green textured card, double sided gold card, Xcut gold adhesive glitter sheet and red snowflake ribbon

 I trimmed the white card so it was slightly smaller than the front of the card blank and embossed it. I attached a strip of gold glitter card to a slightly larger strip of green card and attached these across the bottom of the snowflake panel.  I wrapped the ribbon around this border, fastening it at the rear, before attaching the panel to the front of the card.  I attached a small square of glitter card to gold double sided card and die cut the snowflake.  This was attached to the ribbon with tacky glue.  To finish I added a red nailhead to the centre of the snowflake.

    Stunning CAS card, Kath. The ribbon and die cut are beautiful against the lovely embossed background. I'm visiting your blog today with my DT member's hat on. Thank you for joining in Crafty Calendar Challenge this month. Good luck! xx

    These embossed snowflakes in the background look really pretty Kath, and the gold glitter card snowflake embellishment looks great over the beautiful ribbon backed with the green card, and the nailhead is perfect in the centre of the snowflake. x
