This card is for the special challenges I do every week with a group of friends over at SCS. This week we had to make our cards using items that were sent to us. These items were:- the polka dot background paper
- winter charm
- snowflake die cut with white brad (centre of dancing snowflake)
- sheer polka dot ribbon
It also stated I had to send mine to someone who hadn't seen snow ...... well everyone I asked has seen snow so we have now changed this and I will be posting mine off to one of the other challengers ...... it seems fair ..... I have decided who I am sending it to but I am not telling ;)
When I first found out about this challenge I wasn't sure what I would do but after some thought I remembered about this "Winter Sprite" stamp by Stampendous ........ I can't remember buying this so I think someone must have given it to me sometime ..... it seemed a great opportunity to finally use it! When I first started making this card I almost had a disaster already cause I cut the background paper square and then discovered I needed it longer ....... fortunately the leftover piece was a fraction longer so it wasn't a major disaster ....... however I would have liked the card to be a fraction longer ago but oh well ..... I am happy with how it turned out.
I used my snowflake cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss the blue panel and then highlighted the embossed areas using white ink.

She's wonderful, Frances! I love how snowy and wintery your card is.
This is lovely, have images of that stamp and was not sure how to use it, sure now.
This is so sweet & pretty - I just love that winter sprite! Never seen snow? Wow! I love it when it's first fallen, but I hate driving in it. Not much of it here in Texas, but I grew up in Michigan with LOTS of snow!
I absolutely love this card! :0)
Wow, this is just incredibly gorgeous!
Absolutely STUNNING card! So pretty!
Even though we have snow from sometime in October(flurries) to March(sometimes April) I LOVE snowy cards. NOT snow itself...haha
Love that image too!
What a beautiful card. The colours are so, so beautiful. Very elegant. Wouldn't this make a nice Christmas card. Can you post all of the cards together when you get them from the others? You did a lovely job on your card.
