Since I had such success with my non-traditional holiday card last week at the Play Date Cafe (it made the the Fab Four), I decided to use this week's Color Splash Challenge to make another holiday-themed design.
I started with the Paper Crafts Go-To Sketch #5 for my design. When I was at Archiver's during my recent travels, I picked up a Cookie Cutter Nesting Circle variety package (that fits some special Archiver's only Hero Arts stamps). I used the large scallop for my card base.
My main layer was stamped with the Hero Arts Holly Flourish in Memories India Ink. The sentiment is from CatsLife Press (they have the best holiday seal stamps).
I finished with some large green adhesive gems & a tiny white pearl in the middle of my snowflake.
I'm also submitting this card for the Card Style Week ~ Clean & Graphic design challenge.
Happy Friday!
BEE-autiful entry once again this week! Congratulations on making The Fab 4 and please come get your Fab 4 badge from our sidebar : )
