Snowflake Trio

 


Over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown the challenge this week is a sketch. As soon as I saw it my mind immediately went to Snowflakes


The hardest part was which of my lovely snowflake dies to choose. Recently I was very, very lucky to have been given 2 boxes of brand new dies and papers including loads of new Christmas goodies. I loved the larger ornate snowflake which is from The Paper Boutique. This came as a set of 4 snowflakes and then the outline to cut the contrast mat. It is so pretty that this sketch really makes a lovely feature of it.

The 2 smaller snowflakes are from an old Sheena Douglass set that came in a mystery bag from Crafter's Companion. They are both really intricate. In both cases none of these sets of dies have been used before and I am on a mission to actually USE my die sets and not stick to the same favourites all the time. I have all my supplies catalogued in Evernote and pop a photo in there when I make something using a particular die or stamp. It's good to keep track of what you have and also what you have not used before.

The paper is one of the new pads I have been given which is by Craft Sensations. I liked the subtle colour changes in the background. This is quite a CAS style of card for me but of course with a Mandy twist with added twinkle from some gems.
