Falling Snowflakes

Two challenges I had to join in with this week are ColourQ and Freshly Made Sketches and yes you guessed..... I made another Christmas card :) So here is what I came up with when I combined the two...


Quite CAS I know but I thought the sketch could take it and I did overcome my glitter phobia and give the snowflakes and buttons some sparkle treatment too!!!
The snowflake die is a dienamics by MFT and the sentiment is from a set by Personal Impressions by Kirsty Wiseman.



I'm also entering this card into Simon Says Stamp and Wee Memories as they are both having an 'Anything Goes' challenge week :)


Well this week the Christmas Shopping will start in earnest as well as throwing some cards together...... I seem to work better under pressure, it focuses the mind. Last weeks trip was not successful, as predicted, but I get on better when I've had a pre shopping recce and I'm on my own!!!!

Right must dash... loads to do and I'll be back to blog hop later :)
Thanks for visiting me today.
