Fresh Merry Snowflakes

I'm not one of those people that can sit down and get a card done in less than 10 minutes. I tend to over think things and so I'll sit at my desk, looking over challenges, colors, etc and trying to get it all planned out in my head before proceeding. Of course that doesn't always work for me either, lol. However tonight's card came along quickly and without any real stress,  it was a nice feeling! LOL

I combined 2 challenges for this card.....the color challenge over at Merry Monday to use Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and River Rock, and the sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches. The snowflakes are from the Snow Flurry Bigz die and I used Always Artichoke brads in the middle to secure the pieces together. Always Artichoke was also used as a backing for the River Rock panel going across the middle. I thought that the panel looked a bit plain behind the snowflakes so using Versamark I stamped a snowflake from the Snowflake Soiree set.

I guess Mother Nature approved because it started to snow just as I finished the card :0)



Supplies used(all supplies SU unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Snowflake Soiree, Greetings of the Season
Paper: Cherry Cobbler, River Rock, Always Artichoke, Be of Good Cheer DSP
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, River Rock, Always Artichoke, Versamark
Accessories: Big Shot, Snow Flurry Bigz Die, Always Artichoke Brads, sponge
