Snowflakes

The February challenge at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' is Snowflakes and my card is a reminder that you still have time to get your entry in.  I'm not sure about you but this snowflake thing is very fitting for the chilly part of Canada I live in.  Luckily, winter is almost over and soon little sprigs of that lovely green grass will be poking up.
This month's challenge is sponsored by Funky Kits and I've used their Sugar Nellie Reindeer Games digi for my card.

 

Remember, all you need to do is have a snowflake somewhere on your project.  Also, there is a design team spot  open and the term is March to December with a commitment of one card/project per month.  So easy and for me, very enjoyable because it I can make Christmas cards all year long without the holiday rush and stress.

I had this peice of SEI Silver Valley paper in my stash and thought it would be perfect for the snowflake theme.  The big glittery snowflake was cut using Impression Obsession's Snowflake die and those sparkly gems are from my stash.  I don't recall the manufacturer but they aren't making them anymore - I spent about 2 hours searching the internet for these and they just aren't to be had... or at least I couldn't find them.

After colouring and putting the card together, I added Stardust Stickles  to the snowflakes on the image, the bells on the harness and around the edges.  Stickles Dry Fine Stardust Stickles were used for the snow and coat trim and a Viva Pearl Pen for the pearls on her crown and earrings.  The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley's Dreamy Days Sentiment set.
