Snowflakes

I love using sketches for a jumping off point for card designs. I have a whole Pintrest board of card sketches.  This one is from Dawn Griffith It is really great that she puts the measurements on there for you, although my squares are a different size. I used scraps leftover from using 12x12 sheets for other cards.




My interpretation:


The papers are snippets from Snowflake Splendor paper from SU--pieces from 3 different designs  The snowflake is die cut from a scrap of vellum. The sentiment is from SU's Itty Bitty Christmas, new this year. I used a Sizzix Falling Snow embossing folder for the background Pool Party cardstock. 

For challenges

Let's Craft and Create Challenge 165 --use a sketch.

Let's Squash It challenge to use a Christmas embossing folder and stamp.

Pixie's Crafty Workshop: Pixie's Snippet Playground.  Playing for the prize. I was about to order blending brushes when I saw that Di is giving away brushes with this challenge. Holding off ordering, hoping to win them.

    You are so good at using sketches. I love seeing how you interpret them. This card is perfect, and it was a great way to use up some snippets. Love the vellum snowflake.

    What a lovely card Donna. My, I wish I had the funds to send everyone a set of those brushes. If you haven't entered twice already I've extended the Playground Challenge by a week (hurt my shoulder and not crafting for now) and you CAN enter twice! Go for it!

    Hugs

    Such a pretty delicate card with your vellum snowflake and a very clever sketch too. Love the detail from your embossing folder too. Thank you so much for your visit x
