With Christmas fast approaching I am very aware that I need to get cracking on those cards, especially those that need to go abroad, so I chose to make another with a few challenges in mind as I went.
The sketch I followed is by Lyn at the Quirky Crafts challenge #38...Spyder's Quirky Sketch. I used Doodlebug Whimsical Winter BPs (asterisk and stripes) along with some pale blue vellum, which I embossed in my cuttlebug Snowflakes folder.
It therefore fits with the following challenges too: Cute Card Thursday challenge #137....'Gently Does it!' (I used vellum.) Creative Cottage challenge #26, where the theme is Embossing (I embossed the vellum.)
The image is one of the Cherry Kisses collection at Pollycraft, and is coloured with Promarkers, and I am going to enter it into the I Love Promarkers challenge #39....'Snowflakes.'
I created the sentiment on the computer, using a font called Cool Dots. The large die-cut snowflakes were a freebie sent with an ATC swap last month, and the buttons, card and inks used to colour the edges are from my stash. The card also fits these challenges: Pollycraft challenge #68...'It's Chill Time.'
OSAAT challenge #38....'Winter Wonderland.'
Paper Sundaes challenge #43....'Let it Snow!'
Crafty Calendar Challenge #14...'Winter Snowflakes.' (Thanks Claire ;) )
