 Celebrate the Season


I am submitting this card to the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge. The theme was to create a Christmas card with pastel colors.

I recently got the new snowflake dies from Sue Wilson, they're great.

I used the Snowflake Bakground and the Deboss Snowflake dies. The snowflake on the ribbon is from Create-A-Flake 3 by Spellbinders. The stamp is from the Christmas Expressions set from Cornish Heritage Farms.

All the cardstock is from Recollections. The stick pins are from Jenni Bowlin. The brad and ribbon are unknown.

Here is a close -up of the debossed section which I highlighted with some glitter, which is kind of hard to see in the photos.


I love the way the card turned out and it is fairly simple to make. Enjoy!
