Delightful Challenges - Snowflakes


Hi girls. I am so glad you could join me on my blog today - a very warm welcome. I am slowly beginning to get back into the swing of things and this is the first time in a while that I have posted cards two days running. I must try to get back up and running fully. How are things with you - well I hope. Winter is beginning to make itself obvious here with cold wet days. It's getting dark in mid afternoon some days it's so gloomy. Anyway I hope You find some here to bring a little bright spot to your day.


I am entering this card into the latest Delightful Challenges competition where they want us to use snowflakes on our creations.
I have shown two piccies of this card to show how it opens out and give a better idea of the layout I have used. I have inked up Lili of the Valley's "Skating Along" and coloured this cutie using my Copics. The design paper is "Winter Wonderland" by Crafts House. I cut the poinsettia with a Marianne Designs die and the snowflakes were created using a Martha Stewart punch. The ribbon, gems and glitter are all from my stash and the corner is from Wild Orchid.
I hope you like this card and would be more than grateful if you had a minute to leave a comment letting me know what you think of it. Any constructive criticism is welcomed.
Do have a great day and enjoy your crafting and blogging. Above all stay safe and healthy.
