I just had to make one more card using this fabulous sketch. This time I decided to make a Christmas card as the heart was screaming snowflake. Sorry...same song (aka: sketch), third verse (aka: card)! Have you figured out I love this sketch yet LOL!
Christmas always brings out this wonderful Cuttlebug snowflake die and this beaded, silver cording I got at Mike's a few years back. I love snowflakes so it is the predominant theme on this card. Things looked a bit too "blue" (I'm not a huge blue fan...) so I added the silver bell for a bit of pizazz and Christmas cheer. This qualifies for the Friday Mashup snowflake theme.Hmmm.....what else can I use instead of a heart...just kidding! Before you say it, yes, a flower is a definite option that is still brewing as is a shamrock (may have given you a hint about your birthday card, Moe!). So many options....so many blog readers getting sick of the sketch....better stop while I'm ahead.
Now that I have delved into Christmas, time to get back to my beloved leaves as Fall isn't over yet....snort...!!
Have a great day!!
