Snowflake Merry Christmas Card -

Happy World Card Making Day!  Danielle is our challenge hostess for October at 52 {C}CT and she is starting off her stint in fine style, giving us this fabulous sketch to work with.

  

I kept to a traditional colour combo of red, green and cream and you'll see I stayed faithful to the sketch layout.  I die cut four pieces of patterned paper, glued them to a Real Red square and glued that to the front of a 5" x 7" cream card base.   I die cut an Old Olive fancy circle and glued that to a Real Red plain circle.  I stamped and die cut the snowflake, popped that up and popped up the red circle.  I stamped the large sentiment and completed the card front by adding some red metal nailheads. 

I decorated the inside with a sentiment circle, patterned paper and a popped up snowflake. 

I covered the envelope flap with the striped paper and added a snowflake circle element. 

Do check out the fab cards the other DT members have made and then I hope you'll play along with us at 52 {C}CT this week and make a festive card with this wonderful layout!  We're in October so you need to get creating those Christmas cards if you haven't already built up a stash!
