Snowflakes

I love to follow a good simple sketch and there is one such at CAS Colours and Sketches this week. Here is it!.

I couldn't decide whether I liked it better with or without the sentiment.

I began by embossing a Kaisercraft background stamp onto black card and embossing in white EP. Then I cut around the edge of the design at the bottom and die cut the top to fit my card panel. Next was to inlay the lower snowflake into the embossed card. There is a plain snowflake on the top,  a more elaborate snowflake which is stacked and then embellished with a few pearls.

 

Let it snow!

This is the view which greeted us from our bedroom window this morning...

and this is the view out of my craft room window across the road!

Pretty or what?

Needless to say I shall not be venturing out today!

Here is a card I made because of the weather and inspired by this picture from ABC Challenges.

There are no cardinals in my garden here sadly, but this one, cut from Martha Stewart's birds on a wire punch, is perching in a Memory Box tree.

The snowflakes are cut with a cheapie punch and sadly I don't remember the make of the sentiment.

This one layer card using Stampin' Up's  Take a Sip wheel stamp was embossed in silver and coloured with Promarkers.

The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.

It's for One Layer Wednesday's Warm challenge hosted this week by the uber talented HeatherT.

Apologies for the rubbish picture. One of these days I'll sort out the formula for getting the right amount of light for my pics.

Stay warm and safe everyone!
